Hi There,
I am replacing the rear engine mount of my 06 Honda Accord. I have jacked the engine and successfully removed the bracket and the four bolts on the mount, but the major bolt that connect the engine block to the motor mount is very hard to remove, there is just too little clearance. any suggestions? I already apply penetrating oil to this bolt.

Search youtube. I found one that looks promsing.


good luck

 

I already saw it, but this video did not show the details on how to remove the major bolt of the rear engine mount, it just mention that it can be removed.

 

I'm guessing you have a block of wood and jack already supporting the engine? Put enough pressure on the jack to slightly lift the bottom of the mount off the subframe.

To loosen the bolt, you will likely need some leverage. Sounds like you have limited space. Try to get the shortest socket/extension possible and you'll probably need a breaker bar. A cheater pipe over the breaker bar may be necessary.

Also, make sure you are trying to loosen the bolt head and not the welded nut on the opposite side.

You may have more room trying to loosen from underneath? If you attempt this, put the four bolts on the bottom of the mount back in, so the engine can fall. Just loosen the through bolt from under the car and completely remove from the top?
