Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 29-02-2012
Right...seeing as it is pretty sunny today I thought I would go about changing my top engine mount. I jacked up the engine removed the arm and buffer so the mount was there. Used a flat head screwdriver and placed it on one of the little recess bits and tried then hammered it to move it so that it would undo...
...it didnt undo!!! It just started cutting into the rubber. I moved the screwdriver down to get a better angle and it still did the same. Help please!

If all else fails , get a blow torch on the old one !
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 29-02-2012
How will that help? Haha.
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - samass - 29-02-2012
fire.
fixes everything that a hammer won't.
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 29-02-2012
Haha ok thanks for the info! I will get burning!
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - samass - 29-02-2012
haha just be careful, if you're anything like me, you might set yourself, or your surroundings on fire! come to think of it, aren't the fuel lines round there...? maybe not totally sound advice...
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 29-02-2012
Ye its pretty near my fuel rail etc haha.
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - samass - 29-02-2012
haha yeah... maybe don't use a blowtorch haha
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - samass - 29-02-2012

fixes everything that a hammer won't.

Will be fine ... crack on.
I take no responsibly for any consequences of said actions and do not recommend you to do as I have said
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 29-02-2012
I may give this a go at some point. May get my dad to give me a hand as I don't trust myself! Haha.

Bigger hammer mate (and make sure your screwing anti clockwise)
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Poodle - 01-03-2012
Hold the screwdriver at a steeper angle to make sure it bites properly. Have you tried my suggestion of hitting against the metal base..?
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 01-03-2012
Ye I was hitting it the right way round and ye I tried hitting the bottom of it.
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Poodle - 02-03-2012
Tried a chain/strap wrench or oil filter tool?
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 02-03-2012
Nope don't have those tools haha.

Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 02-03-2012

Your clearly not doing it right then
Have you sprayed lots of WD40 under/around the bottom of the mount and left it to soak in for a while, if you have then hit it harder :geek:
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 02-03-2012
I will whack a load of wd40 in there later!
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Niall - 02-03-2012
Thermite.....(sp?)
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - samass - 02-03-2012

Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 02-03-2012
What's thermite?
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Jake - 02-03-2012
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - declantg - 03-03-2012
thermite could work....
Re: Removing top engine mount help! - Foxy-jim - 06-03-2012
That will do the trick! Where can I buy that too?

I'm only pulling your leg mate, give it a daily spray with WD40 while your at uni this week, should help free it up a bit
