They are worth investing in if you do it often or if you are a group or club and you all chip in on the one tool. It also avoids pulling them in at an angle, which can happen using ghetto tools. I've seen a few oval holes in cases which cause trouble. Thanks for watching.
Great job, nee to your channel, got an s2 with the bolt that goes through those blocks and casing seems a bit stuck any advice or tool you know of thanks Dave
@@kickbackgarage nope thing seems solid whats confusing is it didnt have the parts you refitted as per say a s3 it is just a nut either side but on rubber mounting.
@@kickbackgarage silent blocks the nuts came straight off with long bar but had been on a long time definitely did s2 have a silent block or am I way off
@@davidroberts2307 The larger engine mounts only originaly came on the 175, or larger scooters, along with some specials and SX`s. If yours are the original types it is well worth the upgrade if the engine is tuned. The engine rod has probably corroded to the 2 frame cones that hold it in place and clamp down on the bolt when the nuts are tightened. If you hit the engine bar alternately, left then right it should be able to free it up.
Always like watching your vids very informative thanks ,keep up the good work mate
Thanks for watching. 😎
Great done job and the next on my tool-List........thx a lot
Great work Rob, hurry up with the next 1 :-)
Nice video, sir, very informative.
Blitz spirit mate. This is what i need to make happen on my li3 , those baby mounts won’t cut it.
They vibrate like hell on a tuned motor!
Kickback Garage yeah, i am putting a mm original small block 200cc 66mm barrel on
Looks like a good tool but I just used sockets and a nut and bolt, I doubt I’ll be doing it again so no point me buying the tool. 🙂👍

Thanks Rob, yet another entertaining and informative vid! Have you ever used the Casa Silent Block Removal Tool?;)
Thanks. No. I've only used a shitty Indian thing and the bgm tool.
Hi can you change the lambretta silent block engine mounts with engine still in the scooter .
No. You have to at least drop it down. Fuel in the tank is probably not a good idea either because the engine needs to be heated
Ok thanks its always a learning curve.
What about engine levelling prior to fitting, do you imagine in location of scooter or bench level. Thanx
Yes, you have to take the angle it sits in the frame in account but if its slightly out it won't really make a massive difference.
Now you've reinstalled a 30 yr old silentblock...How to tell when to invest in new silentblocks if restoring an unknown scooter and engine?
Easy answer. Always fit new ones.
Hi Rob, is there a reason why the silent block has the 3 holes in it?
Anti vibration. There are solid types but they shake out your fillings.
