My motor mounts are toast, so I got the cool Monster Motor Mounts from Wild Horses. Will I be able to jack up my motor enough to install these? I assume I'll need to loosen the bolts for the trans & cross member. Any thoughts?
I got some from Ebay. I think it was Driven 4x4. If they are the same ones, they were a bitch. Loosen up the trans mount may help. Take the through bolt out of the mounts and try to get them installed in two pieces, then get the bolt through. That's what worked best for me.
I did not loosen my tranny mounts, but did jack up the engine pretty far from below. I still had to pound one of them in with a dowel. They were a pain to get in. I didn't actually think about loosening the tranny mounts at the time.
I have the ones from West Coast Bronco. Not a real problem. IIRC I replaced one side at a time so as I jacked up the motor it pivoted on the other motor mount and t-case mount. I think I loosened the other mount up so the bolt would go to the top of the slot as it was pivoting.
Some people told me it was going to be a pain, but it was only a few hour job for me.
