Hey guys, I finally got my tensioner/belt/belt tool and replacement O-rings for the cam position sensor to hopefully fix a leak but i have a question i haven't been bale to resolve.

I know i will have to remove the upper passenger side engine mount to raise that side of the engine up. However, do the other mounts need to be loosened or removed to gain enough clearance? The info I've read says anything from loosening the transmission mount and leaving the lower mount, to completely removing both (which sounds kind of sketchy).

Has anyone done this or something similar and can give me some insight onto what mounts have to come out?

 

Bump. I'm hoping going to work on this tomorrow but I'm nervous about having all three engine mounts undone at the same time

 

Yes you should do this to have more access http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...eplacement.htm

 

May I humbly suggest that you first put the front end up on jackstands, remove the passenger side tire and wheel, then the plastic wheel well liner and see what you've got. As I recall, I've been able to access the belt tensioner w/o raising the engine. If need be, you can always do so.

 

LOL. Thats all part of the instructions and yes you can do it that way. But to have greater room for someone new, it is sometimes easier to jack the engine up IMO.
