Removal Procedure

Important:  Torque axis mounting systems allow more engine movement than other mounting systems. The engine movement is the design intent of the mounting system. Do not replace the torque axis mounts unless the mount or the rubber is damaged.

1. Raise the engine in order to apply slight tension on the engine mount.
2. Replace the engine mount if any of the following conditions exist:
   • The hard rubber surface is covered with heat cracks
   • The rubber is separated from the engine mount metal plate
   • The rubber is split through the center
3. Lower the engine.
4. Check the engine mount fastener torque.
5. Remove the cruise control module mounting nuts.
6. Remove the A/C low pressure line retaining bracket (1) nut.
