Where did you get that strap wrench from Andrew? I think I'll need one for my own hydramount.

if a diesel, make sure you lock the mount down hard and the aluminium space at the bottom is secure (mine worked loose and took me ages to find the slight clunk on braking)

Today i got busy removing the HP pump and discoverd both upper engine mounts have seen better days would account for vibrations.

Anybody got one of the hydramount tools around south lincs area who might be able to lend for an afternoon?

Failing that im eyeing up the oil strap wrench mentioned earlier or maybe even
Draper 77592 Oil Filter Wrench

Any ghetto tec ideas?

Hi John.
Add two nuts of the same size to the thread, lock them off and use the lower one with a ring spanner to undo the mount.

Nice, thanks MR. That idea drifted through my nuggin but got filed under second to last thing to try and i will not share what the last thing is but now you say it can be done i shall try it.

EDIT

And on fitting new mount it can be torqued up properly using socket on top nut. NICE!!
