just been under the car whilst sorting the exhaust AGAIN i saw the mount in question towards the front under the sump area, think i could get it off without removing the DS but will see

how do you remove the one that you need the chain wip for i thoulgt it was nut top and bottom according to the images of vibra technics mounts

I changed mine for a poly mount without removing the driveshaft. Just cut all the rubber out, saw a line into the metal outer part bend it in a bit and pop it out. Fitting the new one is so simple it doesn't need explaining. I'm in Mexico at the min but can post pics when I get home. Took just over an hour start to finish.

Gearbox side is easy.

usher

for the lower one i was going to remove the bracket then maybe walk round the corner to a garage to have them pushed in and out as im sure it will be quicker and easier than trying to hammer the new one in

so for the ecu side you need to unscrew the mount it self, the gear box side does that just unbolt either side and lift out or is it more complecated than that

How do you think you'll get the new bush in though?

As for the top mount, the ECU needs removing, the bracket between engine and mount needed removing and this give access to the rubber mount. It is screwed into the car on a nut attached to the car.

I also need to change my rear engine mount as my car is shaking like a shitting dog, but i might as well do them all if im going to do one. i just hope i dont need to take off the front bumper.

think it does but looking on sinfulldesigns 206 the bush just looks to be bolted through the middle

Steve206

Drivers driveshaft has to come out as it passes through the same fixture as the bush. Does the rear need to be pressed in?

usher

looks like im off shopping, gb oil to replace, oil filter remover, drive shaft socket whatever that size is think its 32mm

Edward

SO you'll need a bottle of oil or two as well. Chain whip type oil filter tool is needed for the mount under the ECU.

usher

yeah exhaust rattling from side to side on tick over and engine moving excessivley, does the drive shaft need to come out, just last time i was near one i spilled oil everywhere

hope you mean passanger side/gear box side that one came out easy

might need to go shopping for the driveshaft nut socket

Steve206

Driveshaft off and then unbolt for the lower one. Bit of a job, is it def knackered?

usher

any one changed them or got any tips, ill be getting a full set, i think the lhs one will be easy enough and the gearbox one just really the lower one im a little worried about, any input will help thanks
