For everybody asking how to slide on the mount, I found that it is easiest to get a floor jack and put a piece of wood and lift the motor from the oil pan about 1-2 inches then break the bolts loose from the top motor mount next to the timing belt cover. You don't have to remove it, just loosen the bolts so you can move the bracket up or down 1-2 inches. Then slowly bring down the jack and lock the jack when you bring it down enough to clear the ears of the new lower mount under the frame. Then lift the jack again so you can put the bolts in place for the lower mount. Then go back and hand tighten the upper bolts that were loosened. Bring down the jack a bit and I mean a BIT. Then tighten up against the upper bolts with a breaker bar. And youre done.
same here
This video is so amazingly simple and clear. Thank you sir, you saved me many hours of scratching my head.
for you
Found same mount broken on a friend's car. The 2000 civic had been having idle problems, stalling, and at times a significant engine vibration. The only problem I ran into was getting the frame of the new one onto the bolt. Without the "missing part" of this video; you know what I mean, I found that removing the plastic wheel shroud was the trick. The "pull down" comment I figured had to do with physically pulling down on the rear end of the mount in order to compress the mount and pop it into place behind the metal obstruction. Once I did that all that was left was hitting it with a rubber mallet to slip it the rest of the way onto the shaft.
Great video. Replaced all the drive belts in my Civic. Noticed that lower mount is shot. Your video helped.
Thanks for this video, my buddy & I just installed this on my car in about 30 minutes. We had a little struggle getting the new mount in the proper position but overall still easy.
Thanks for the tutorial. Knocked it out just now. I got really worried when the new mount wouldn't slip in. lol
So there's a significant gap between the bolt and the round part of the mount that the bold goes through. I don't know if it's supposed to be like that or if it need some kind of collier or washer inbetween. I found the mount dangling and the bolt about to fall off so I don't know if there was more to it. No nut either but it wouldn't have anything to block in
I have yet to see a video where somebody does the full installation of this motor mount, uncut. It's always, "loosen these bolts...", and then, "we're back! Just tighten up the new motor mount and you're on your way!"
This is why I love UA-cam
Finally, a good video on this topic! Thank you
Thanks man always nice to share mechanical knowledge or I guess learn something new
Kind of a pain but not too bad. I ended up taking off the front plastic skid plate and pulled half the plastic wheel well off and bent it out of the way. Jacked the car up and removed the tire a well to get as much access as possible. I positioned the front of the mount near it's final position and got both hands on the rear of the mount and pulled down as hard as possible to clear the lip in the frame. Needed a mallet to tap it fully in place and was good to go.
thank u for the heater fan trick also.
You need to be specific on t what thread pattern it is so they know which 14 size bolt to get
How do u get the bolt out of the bushing? Mine is stuck to it cannot get it off?.
Thank u this was very helpful changed mines in ten minutes 👍
Where do you support the engine from #1, what did you just "pull down" to get the motor mount in #2 since you skipped that part.
ya this video has a couple holes in it
I watched your vid and then went to do this....ummm...you left out a vital piece sir!! You did show how to replace the actual engine mount...ummm...which was very hard to do as it was my first, In future please be more complete in your vids!
Well tough
Lovely vid, appreciate the help mate, cheers
Are there lower front mounts on both the driver side and passenger side? Or only the driver side?
Elevan fiti nineeeeeee videooooooooowws . Fave part of all vids
Had my honda serviced the other day they said I needed mounts I checked the driver side mount and it’s completely missing 😭 😭 lmaoo fudge cakes will be replacing the mount that was never there myself later on today hopefully
you skipped the most important part how u put it on
Place the car on jack stands. Then place a bottle jack with a piece of plywood under the engine oil pan. Next remove the upper driver side motor mount bracket. Then you can unbolt the lower mount. To provide space for removing and reinstalling the mount, lower the engine with the bottle jack. Remove the old mount then slip the new mount on the shaft. Raise the jack and install 19mm bolts. Replace upper mount bracket then torque down the lower mounts nut
Why? There's no need to remove the upper motor mount if you're just replacing the lower!
Sometimes you need to loosen top 2 bolts to lower the engine so that new mount can have space to go in
@@buddybestor so then HOW do you install the New motor mount back in if there is no space to move the mount back in without removing any other mounts?
Pointless video
Make sure you have a long flat head screwdriver and a mallet to wedge the new motor.
Thank you for posting this video. VERY helpful and inspirational.
However, so ok, the most difficult part of this procedure is getting the new mount onto the spindle. Working on a 97 CRV is same procedure as the Civic. But, apparently slight difference of ability to easily slide on the new mount to the spindle.
So, I placed about 100 pounds of iron weights from the home gym on top of the valve cover, voila, pushed the engine down JUST enough to slide the lower engine bracket onto the spindle. :) Genius?
I tried various other approaches. Wish I would have thought of the weights before I started, could have been done with entire procedure in 15 minutes including clean up. hehe.
Take the main bolt out after removing the nut. No need for weights.. Lmfao!

@@keyboardjoerc How? do you just "pull" the bolt out? because it does seem like I have to move the motor downward in order to fit the lower mount back in.
Wow you showed me how to loosen a bolt🤦🏼♂️ I need to know how to get off
Lol you're funny and this video was awesome and helpful! thanks
Arnt theses motor mounts supposed to be torques to a certain setting?
My mechanic friend is working on a 1982 Honda Civic Wagon. But having issues with the engine, even though it is brand new on the bottom, and changed the heads a few times.
The machine shop installed the wrong (smaller) O rings on the auxiliary valves housing. Ran great for a week. The oil and fuel leaked by the auxiliary valves, and washed the rings. The best cylinders, #4, has blown now, but it was not the other day. Even the compression changed on the good cylinders.
He has tried to get the rings to reseat, but it won't work. He tried to a small amount of transmission fluid down each cylinder and put in new spark plugs. Spark plugs were fouled before, now burning beautifully, but the compression has not returned.
How to reseat the rings on this engine?
Very helpful thanks . Nice video
I need that mount that connects from the motor to the mount
Very very informative video
Thanks homie!
thank you for the video and advice...
Do you know if that bolt can be replaced with an alternative it's rarer than a chicken tooth
So i used this method, but for some reason when we put the new mount as we tighten the middle rubber twist. What could cause the middle part to twist while tightening the 19mm bolt. Help pls.
I have a 91 civic sedan that i need to replace all the mounts due to severe vibration. Where do you place the jack to support the engine while replacing the mounts. I apologize if someone already asked you this questions. Also, do you have a preference on where to purchase the mounts? Thank you!
You can jack the engine/trans up by the oil pan and the bottom of the transmission. Using a piece of wood between the jack and the oil pan or transmission is recommended to prevent damage. If possible, OEM mounts are the way to go, but they aren't cheap. You get what you pay for. Aftermarket mounts are notoriously bad and they frequently transfer more vibration than the broken mounts did. If you can't get OEM mounts, I'd just look for a mount kit with decent reviews and ideally a lifetime warranty and hope for the best.
sry but what kills me is, the hardest part you guys always skip over. you should be showing how and what you used to get that nutt loose from the motor mount. i see so much of this. why video and cut half of it out
YES WHY DID U SKIP THE PART WHERE IT DOESN'T FIT??? =/
The actual mounting bolts have nuts tack welded inside the frame with no access.The nut has 4 spot welds the size of a pin head and the bolt protruding a half inch beyond.With force the bolt will come out an eighth inch hit the exposed rusty section then pop the welds.Then you have a loose bolt and a nut inside a metal box.
You can see he has already installed and removed the new mount by the bolt wear on the mount.
One nut up in the frame of the 14 mil broke free and spinning any suggestion of holding or getting it replaced
Where do you place jack? Does the engine need to be supported?
Where can i find a diagram (motor mounts) for a 2000 Honda civic .. how many mounts?
I have my whole mount gone, I was wondering do I have to jack it up can I just slide the new mount in? And how long are the bolts, could i get them at a home depot or lowes?
Does this mount come with a bushing?
Anyone knows?
The bushing is built into the mount
Cody the Car Guy Thanks man
How did you support the engine when removing motor mounts?
you dont need to support the motor when changing the torque mount. the 3 major mounts were still attached. that mount just alleviates the rocking back and forth.
hi. i have a 1995 honda civic lx maybe you can help me. i put the car in d-4 and drives shifts great for about 15 mins when it gets hot 25-30 mph starts to vibrate and then it shifts and then its fine over 60 mph smooth as anything . what can the shaking vibration be also had new tires put on this car it was doing the same thing before the new tires thanks
Awesome Vid👌💪
Thank you!!
what year? i have a 2008. i had transmission, all passenger side. not lower mount turk looks like a dog bone. i did not know about any drivers side? i am tired of the vibrations. i feel it is on the drivers side area
Couldn’t get my old bushing off bolt :(
Nice reference to your grand dad. Nice to know that the young generation pays attention and remember their listens in life.
when I removed it the main bolt came off as well what do i do nowM
I change the driver side last year 2021, now after a collision (not my fault) the passenger side is broken. The problem is, is not changing it. The one that holds it is a bit shifted to the right and is barely touching the rod. Please advice. Straightening it up is not easy, how much would it cost me if I bring it to the mechanic?
Hey sir did you ever figure this out???
Just went this morning to get the car quickly checked. Was told the motor mounts were going bad or are no good. I hear a brief clicking sound when making a right turn and when the car is in motion it wants to suddenly veer to the right pretty bad. Any suggestions on which one to fix out first or which one could be the main issue? Thanks.
Well the clicking noise is your cv axle, the cv axles can cause all sorts of havoc and you can do one mount at a time get a friend to look and see where the motor moves and fix that mount first
Great advice thanks cody!
Yeah the creaking sounds are coming from the CV axles, ball joints all the jumbo man.
+Cody the Car Guy Did you just jack the car up and changed it from there or did you also use a jack to hold the motor up?
+Cody the Car Guy Did you just jack the car up and changed it from there or did you also use a jack to hold the motor up?
You didnt show where to jack it
What’s the name of that main bolt. I can’t find it anywhere
Is the same for a 2011 civic 1.8liter?
Would I experience vibrations while braking if the front, lower motor mount were broken? I hear rattling but only when the car is in drive and I'm applying the brakes (such as when at the stoplight).
Nestor Carrillo oh yes it will rattle on the frame if metal is hitting the fame instead of just the mount absorbing the vibrations in the rubber part of the mount
Thanks, appreciate the help!
I have 96 Civic. Last night while changing out the alternator, power steering and A/C belts I discovered that the lower motor is no good. It crumbled in my hand just like in your video. I removed the 19mm nut and the front most 14mm bolt. The second rear most 14mm bolt will not come out because it looks like the threaded insert that it screws into came free. So the bolt is 3/4 of the way out but now it is just dangling there with the remainder of the mount bracket. Say, by some strange luck, that I am able to somehow get the bolt out, how in the world am I going to install the new motor mount if there is nothing for the the 14mm bolt to screw into?
I have the same issue with the front bolt right now. I had hoped to find a video of someone who also ran into this problem. No luck. -_-

Yeah, I fixed mine. You have to use a rivet nut, also called a rivnut. And you will need a rivnut installation tool. First I used my Dremel tool to cut off the bolt. You can get some metal cutting disks and a bit for the Dremel tool for like $15 at Home Depot. The stock bolt is a M10 with 1.25 thread pitch. They do not make a M10 x 1.25 rivnuts (unless you go to an aeronautical supply and have some custom made for you, F that!) so you will have to get some rivet nuts M10 x 1.5 (from Amazon) get the steal w/nickle plated or stainless (you don;t want it to rust and you want it to be strong enough). You will need the installation tool too. Made by Astro Pneumatic, Model # 1427, Hand Rivet Nut Kit for M5, M6, M8, M10 & M12. It cost $40 plus shipping from Amazon. When installing the M10 rivnut you will need to drill the old hole out with a 9/16 bit. Make sure you buy a new bolt with the same pitch and hardness. I got mine at Fastenal. Tell them that you will be installing an engine mount and they will hook you up with the correct one. Remember to get a M10 x 1.5 to match your rivnut You can special order the rivnuts from them too but might cost more. Good luck!
Good info
What intake setup is that
I'm trying to change out this mount . The 19 mm came off easy but for some reason my 14 mm bolts won't come out. It's almost like there is a nut holding them in do you know what is the problem?
They broke inside the frame.
I cant get mine on. I feel I am going to damage the new one
Whats the bolt that holds it on
Thanks!
My 2 14mm bolts just spin now any suggestions on what to do?Cut the bolts?But how would to reinstall,belt replacement gone bad!Any suggestions be wonderful 🙏🏽
Hey Mid- Ohio- also here in Ohio and a lot of buddies have had that on rust belt cars here, if it’s for the mounts, you will have to weld the nuts inside the chassis back solid, sometimes being able to use holes often times having to cut one yourself to gain access
@@jameshunt5316 yea thanks I ending up cutting a square and put in new bolt n nut.Was a pain but got it done.
Mid- Ohio- glad to hear, got lucky with my second civic being from the south my first was a rust bucket in Ohio it’s whole life
@@jameshunt5316 my rear fender wells are Rusted out...this Ohio weather n salted roadways do that unfortunately.And to replace that area seems to be a challenge.
Mid- Ohio- look at chrisfix’s UA-cam channel my man, he shows a great diy fender repair, as for the inside wheel well I personally have taken wire brushes to the entire inside and then taken that black underspray to it.. if you need small welding we’re up by Lima and my cousin welds professionally and could possibly help or find a local guy who can weld. I personally replace everything possible when I can and redo and paint everything on my way in and out to prevent future salt problems
My bolt still has parts. Of the old mount!
I'm having the same issue... I had to go to the junk yard to find that bolt
5 min my ass. Dude, you have to drop the engine 6 inches to get that lower mount on. You must have gotten your mount from autozone or Oreilly's where the mount rubber material is garbage and soft. The real mount that rubber is very very stiff and not very flexible so the engine has to be dropped to get it on.
You have many downvotes cuz you did not show how it is done.
Ok the stud came out with the rest of the mount.... Now what? Can I buy the studs?
This happened to me this last sat and a mechanic helped me burn the rubber of the stem and then he heated the stud for about 5 mins and loosened the stud with a driver impact gun! Good luck.
Do u have to jack up the motor to do this??
Just slightly from the bottom of the car, you need room to get the old mount out to replace with the new one.
The bolts also have torque specs make sure you find those out before changing it out.
wow
Bolt* (not bold)
No you don't have to Jack the motor up....I just changed in less than 15 minutes.....it's easy. Ths was my first time on a honda. Cake
Where can you buy this mount?
IS NOT FUCKING EASY..!!!! I HAD TO REMOVE THE LINK TO THE ENGINE R/H THEN IT BECOME EASY..YACKS DOESN'T HELP AT ALL IN THE CENTER OF THE ENGINE IN THE RIGHT SIDE IS WORSE ...LOT OF PARTS HAVE TO BEEN TAKEN APART THE COMPRESSOR IS IN THE WAY AH AND PLASTIC ENGINE COVERS HAVE TO BE REMOVE FIRST FOR ACCESS ........
It was simple and easy for me and i didnt have to remove hardly anything and deff didnt have to mess with the compressor.
Cody the Car Guy thus is stick shift. And every thing is diferent
ive never bothered replacing that ever. its useless. the bolts neverrrrr come out the chassis. torque mount BS
Enjoy the wheelhop much? :D
