Whats the easiest way anyone know how to remove the front lower hydraulic mount. I'm about to remove the compressor but I'd rather not.. Thankyou

That mount by the AC compressor can be a bitch. It is actually the (almost) last thing connected on my engine reinstall.
You can try this:


Remove Front Pass Tire
Loosen bottom nuts of rear Motor mount by where pass tire axle goes into tranny.
Remove nuts from the mount you want.
remove dogbone.
probably check other shit that needs to be loosened or removed.
then use a 2x4 and jack to lift motor off of subframe.
Very slowly.
Easy when motor/subframe/tranny are out of car....

Yeah used a 15mm offset box wrench... Don't even know where I found but I did have it. Still a pain to remove.Amazing all I wanted to do was to replace the mount to stop the wheel hop. I didn't know they were both worn out!. The engine is much quieter on the inside and I don't have to finess the clutch as much anymore, esspcecially on the 1-2 shift. I replaced all mount sans the transmission mount...I guess thats a daler only item now....All my online resources indicate as such.... Also replaced front hydraulic mount with a soild counterpart.
