Here is the best method of removing the 3.0 engine mounts.
Here it is, how to remove the engine mounts on a 2002 3.0. not enough information about this online and I refused to go down defeated today. My engine runs so much smoother in the car. I hope this helps anyone who is researching about this or needing to tackle this job. Your best bet is to remove each side engine bracket after you have unbolted the mounts and supported the engine with it raised. the biggest challenge is the driver side because of the lack of space you have due to the throttle body and other accessories getting to that point. It is completely doable without removing the throttle body as I did not as you can see in the video. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Last edited by trentcdrums; 02-17-2019 at 08:40 PM. |

What about leaving the right side loosely connected when you raise the engine causing the engine to rotate giving the left side the room needed? It helped a bunch on my E46 doing it that way.

were your mounts bad? what is the typical service life of the mounts? noticeable stiffness or other gain with fresh mounts? seems like it’d be a worthy replacement similar to tension strut bushings bc the rubber ultimately weakens over time and creates slack in the drivetrain. but admittedly I am not sure, hence the question. comparing my 75k mi X w my 180k X the general ‘stiffness’ and the “lurch factor” off the line is MUCH greater in the newer car , which just feels livelier all around. I am thinking that engine mounts, tranny mounts, guibo and diff mounts all contribute to that.

I think auto correct on your phone may be in play here but I really don't understand what you just wrote?
