DII Engine mount removal
Hi All,
I am trying to pin my sleeves, using the post I now can't find on here, And it says you can do it without removing the motor. I have the oil pan off, the exhaust manifold, heat shield and all the bolts off the mount on the drivers side. I see no way to get the mount out. How do I remove it so I can drill the holes and put the pins in? I did search here but could not find an answer anywhere. it is a 2003 DII Thank you, Eric |
You have to lift the engine, until the motor mount studs clear the frame bracket...and then wiggle them out.

So you have to do both side at once I assume. Will the trans move enough or do I have to unbolt something there too? |
the rave manual says to do each side separately (pp. 12-2-22 to 12-2-23).

I removed the nuts on the frame side of the engine mount, as well as on the engine side. Then lifted the engine enough to wiggle the mounts out. Using a jack stand with wooden blocks, I supported the whole affair at the bell housing. This left both sides of the engine free and open. |
Not sure how you'd use a jack stand, but I used a floor jack and a short 2x6 to jack up the engine after removing all four nuts. I put the jack with the 2x6 under the oil pan. A bottle jack would work too.

This is the method I have been trying. I have the truck on jack stands so that the front wheels are about an inch off the ground and my jack is to short with the piece of wood I have to lift it enough. I also have an issue with the front end being in the way of where I need to put the wood. I might need a different piece of wood. I don’t own a engine lift. My friend has one but it is the issue of getting it to my house. I will get this project done somehow! Thank you all for your help. I would never get this done without it. |
Try just leaving the wheels on the ground. The only thing that needs to be jacked up is the engine.

If I don’t allow the suspension to hang I don’t have enough room to get the drill up in there to drill and tap the block. |
Get a few more pieces of wood and lift it at the bell housing.
Brian. |
