How do you replace a Chevrolet S10 motor mount?

Answer by  BigMACK (92)

An engine hoist is used to lift and support the engine after the hood is removed and the motor mounts can be unbolted from the engine and the body of the truck with the engine supported in this manner. Removal of some exhaust bolts to prevent breaking exhaust mounts is also required

To Replace a motor mount you will need a tall bottle jack or cherry picker. Take the stress off the mount with the jack. Spray BJ blaster on the bolt most likley 5/8" Heat it if needed to break it loose. Take the bolt out. Jack up the motor a little and slide the motor mount out.

Well typically you just unbolt the old ones from the frame and the block and lift up the engine. Then the old ones are removed and the new ones installed. Then the engine is bolted back into place.

To replace a motor mount you will need to get a engine hoist kit so that you can ensure that the new mount is in the correct place. If it rusted out you may have to weld a steel plate and drill new holes. If only the bolt cracked, drill out the bolt and install a new one.

Take a floor jack and place under oil pan. Place a block of wood between jack and oil pan. Loosen bolts and raise engine slowly.

You are going to have to set a jack under the motor and raise it just a little bit. You may have to pull the starter off to be able to get to the mount. Once you are able to get to the mount unscrew the bolts holding it in trying not shake the motor to violently.
