TGP motor Mounts

[unirok]

Does anyone have the procedure with pics for changing the lower left motor mount on a 1990 TGP?  Thanks

you are talking about the front hydraulic filled mount

if so loosen the subframe bolts up, to allow the subframe to drop some then take the harmonic balancer off, so you get access to the top mount nuts and then take the nuts loose from the under side of the frame and use a jack or hoist to lift the motor up to give you more room, you should have enough  room to get it out. if not lower the subframe some more and watch out for the steering rack shaft  so it don't pull apart.

You don't have to lower the sub frame or take the harmonic balancer off, I did mine, go to this site and go to "89 TGP Lower Motor Mount Change".....Dogbone

Thanks man. Did you have to loosen the transmission mount to lift the engine up or just jacked it up once you removed the mount bolts?

I didn't loosen or take the tranny mount off, just lifted the motor, you should take your lower and upper turbo cooler pipes off and any K & N filter or air box pipe.

Yeah I was actually schooled by Gutless Supreme before I did mine.
