DIY'ers: Engine Mounts 35d, accessible from below?
Yesterday finished up with the service of the transmission, transfer case and the diesel filter. While I had the under body covers off it seemed to me that the engine mount bolts and the top nut are accessible from below with the stiffening plate removed. I guess I'd have to sustain each side of the engine while extracting the mount but that should not be too hard. Not really keen to drop the sub-frame unless absolutely no other option.
Anyone changed the motor mounts on the 35d? Can it be done this way?
