ZT V6 Lower Engine Mounting Removal

[Rapid7]

Just replacing the lower engine mounting at the moment,i've removed the bolt that go's through the end with the small bush. but the bolt that go's through the big bush will not come out due to to it hitting the front pipe o2 sensor.So do i need to remove the front pipe or is there a way around this.

Thanks in advance Paul.

All sorted needed to pull the engine down to allow the bolt to get past the o2 sensor.:lol:

Just grabed hold of the engine mount bracket that's bolted to the sump & pulled down.

And what a different car it is to drive now :lol:

Just for my info what were the symthoms of having a broken or weak mount?

When changing gear no matter how gentle you where with the clutch it would bang & knock when you moved off.

When i removed the mounting the bush centre that the bolt go's through had parted company with the rest of the bush & 2 large cracks from one side of the bush to the other.

I get a juddering sensation when pulling off at low speeds and when changing gear a clunk as if the lever is hitting something.

Is this the same thing????

I would say so, my car has only covered 33000 miles from new.
