Steps
Remove the engine cover
Remove the T30 fasteners securing the engine cover and lift the cover away to expose the upper mount and support bracket.
Remove the support bracket
Cut the tie securing the power steering return hose and move the hose clear. Counterhold the mount stud, remove the bracket fasteners, and lift the engine support bracket away.
Remove the old mount
Loosen the mount fasteners without removing them completely at first. Lift the mount out while keeping track of each bolt position and its orientation.
Install the replacement mount
Transfer the bolts to the corresponding positions on the new mount. Set the mount into place, align the holes, and tighten its fasteners evenly to the vehicle's specification.
Restore the bracket and cover
Reinstall the support bracket and mount stud fastener, then secure the power steering return hose with a new tie. Refit the engine cover and verify the hose and mount are clear of moving parts.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
