OK dumb question for the week. To replace engine mounts, do you need to remove the engine, or is it a matter of unscrewing the old mount, replacing the mount and screwing that one in..?
Mo's engine is moving and I gotta make it stop...

not a dumb question, son. there are no dumb questions, just dumb people. and judging from this prefectly legitimate question, there is a dumb person behind it 
you dont need to take the whole engine out although it can be a very very hard job to do (pushing the engine 3cm to line up holes on brackets) marcello ill finish the post tomorrow after a good nights sleep basically turning the engine on will help slot the bolt through after much prying with a screwdriver |

I replaced my engine mounts not so long ago and all I did was unbolt the old ones and put the new ones straight in. Everything stayed all nicely lined up. Maybe I was just lucky. Maybe my mini is screwed. Who knows... |

Yep you can do it with the motor in Situ but its a bugger. you will need a nice even floor and a trolley juck to hold the Subby/Engine. Radiator side is going to be the real bugger side

I have put these on Wifeies daily drive two years ago with movement at all and they look brand New. You should find they come with thier own Grease
I have now put a full set on the rear subfram of Marcia and should be also going on the Front also. Some prefer Rubber (Dr) |

Those red bushes are crap, there are blue coloured ones now that are much better. Could never figure out why these bushes need to be greased, they don't move or pivot. Anyone explain it to me? Steve |
