Possible engine / gearbox mount gone? Mk2 16v

[dubvrs]

How easy are the rear engine mounts to change?

I know you need to support the engine blaa blaa but are they easy to get at?


 

As long as you can get above and below the car they are not to bad. Main problem is the lower bolt closest to the drivers front wheel as you have to put a extension bar through the hole in the lower arm and when you cars lowered you cannot get on it but other than that an easy job.

may sound mad but do the check with the handbreak on but also look at the cv joints for movement has been known to be slopy diff worth a look

Done the rear engine mount today.

Bloody-ell its a crap job.

The bolts were easy to undo on mine (thank God) but I had to undo the drivers side inner driveshaft to get the mount out. Longed my life out 

Gearbox mount tomorrow. hurrah! Not looking forward to the clearance issues with certain bolts (slick/ rubjonny might know what im on about)
