Hydramount removal method
I have read somewhere that instead of the removal tool that it is possible to back up two M12 nuts together and undo it that way ? Does anyone have any experience of this ? Cheers

I would imagine that once the thread is "cracked" (hammer and drift) it would make winding it out easier but it's asking a lot of a small threaded section.

On a diesel it can be a real pain to do as the steel block surrounding the mount prevents using s strap or chain wrench to undo it.
Either fabricate a tool from a suitable sized piece of tubing to fit the castellations or alternatively use a blunt long cold chisel and a lump hammer to undo it. The engine mount needs to be removed to allow enough access Russ

Thanks all for your responses. Hi Russ , do you mean the lower teardrop mount needs to be removed to allow access? Not sure if my diesel has the extra steel block , I heard some didn't have it.

Did this last week with this exact method, plenty of release fluid down the side of the mount, two m12 nuts and a thin screwdriver to work around the mount to allow release fluid in and to break the seal. Took quite some doing to get off but worked well for us. Hope this helps Jon

Changing the Front vacuum engine mount and the teardrop mount on the Volvo tomorrow, which will be dead easy to do in comparison to the 75 Russ

Is this the hydramount in question? if so is this a fair price or 'a cheap part' anyone bought one recently?

The double nut method is all well and good, unless your mount is really knackered and then it's useless.
Just use a hammer and chisel. |
