AnswerREMOVAL
Remove engine mount bracket (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE MOUNTING/ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET - REMOVAL).
NOTE: The right engine mount attaching holes are slightly oversize to compensate for manufacturing tolerances. The mount has been set at the manufacturing plant for proper powertrain alignment. Therefore, it is necessary to mark the position of the mount before the attaching bolts are loosened.
Using a permanent ink marker or equivalent, mark the position of engine mount to the body frame rail.
Remove bolts attaching mount to body (Engine Mount—Right).
Lower engine with jack.
Postion right engine mount into timing belt cover hole (Right Engine Mount - Removal/Installation).
Raise engine with jack.
Remove mount between engine and body frame rail. Mount removal may require engine position to be raised or lowered to allow mount removal clearance.
