guys
got the engine jacked up, old mount is on the bench...


How do we remove the old rubber from the inside of the mount itself ?
does it need to be pressed out ?

its really jammed in there,and i can seem to get it out...


any help appreciated.

cheers
Nathan

cut it out
put it in a bench vice or somthing to hold it there and cut it out with a hacksaw

Thanks for the info guys

we got the hack saw out and cut the bugger out....dam it was stuck in there!


car is running beautifully now
no more idle shaking, back to no jittering whilst breaking!

Did you use a factory replacement rubber mount or a polyurethane (spelling?) mount?
Cause my top one has just gone and Im not sure what I should replace it with...

i got mine from Megatron in QLD.


tell ya what, his service was bloody fantastic !
product came over night from qld, when i was having trouble getting the old rubber out of the mount, i gave him a buzz, he told me what to do in about 10 seconds.....easy job in the end.

the mount he sold me is perfect, has stopped vibration down to almost zero !
the engine / tranny doesnt jolt now when gears are being changed !

So what mount did you get? The standard, street or race one? He offers those 3 options...

He just sent you the replacement insert, and you removed your old rubber and pressed it in?

I purchased the 'street - recomended' inserts

they dont sent out the whole mounts these days.


Very hard to get the old inserts out, as there is a metal ring around it, and it bonds to the mount itself..

Make sure you have a hack saw, chizel, hammer and torque wrench handy when doing this mod !

so do you need to have a spare mounts to put the rubber in ? is there no other way of preserving them and just taking out the black rubber bit ?

cheers


later:cool:

I just recently had my front one changed. Car feels alot smoother now.

If you get a standard OEM one it comes with the lot, mount and casing.

And how much is that? Did you get it from Mitsi?

Edit: Just rang Mitsi... $204 just for the mount, not including fitting!! CRAP!!! He said its not just a rubber mount, but that its oil filled??? Whats the advantage of that?

Just had to have one of mine done on the TH. Part was $178. Fitting was done as part of other things being done so don't know how much it would cost just have a new mount fitted labour-wise.
