Rear lower engine mount

George Holmer · May 19th, 2017, 22:01

Doing all the engine mounts on my V-reg V70 non-turbo auto. Struggling a bit with lining up the lower rear mount to do the bottom bolt. Any tips would be most appreciated. I am following the FCP YouTube video but they made it look a little easier than it was. Anyone done these before have any suggestions?

For example, did you do the top nut first and then lower the engine or did you do the bottom bolt and then lower the engine?

Have you tried jacking the engine?

jack the sump with a piece of wood, will raise it

Got it sorted in the end with a lot of patience. However, when I go to refit everything else, I realise that the front rubber cushion is also gone and has to be replaced so hey-ho, car is out of action for a while longer.
