4WD
On 4WD vehicles the engine front support brackets
attach directly to engine block and the axle housing.
The brackets provide a solid interconnection for these
units (Fig. 49) (Fig. 50). Engine must be supported
during any service procedures involving the front
support assemblies.
(1) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Install engine lifting (support) fixture.
(4) Remove front axle (Refer to 3 - DIFFEREN-
TIAL & DRIVELINE/FRONT AXLE - C205F -
REMOVAL).
(5) Left mount insulator only. Remove starter
wires and starter motor assembly (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/STARTING/STARTER MOTOR - REMOV-
AL).
(6) Remove insulator to frame through bolt (Fig.
51).
(7) Raise engine slightly.
(8) Remove upper insulator to support bracket
stud nut and insulator to support through bolt.
(9) Remove engine mount insulator (Fig. 49) (Fig.
50).
(10) If engine support bracket is to be removed/re-
placed, remove support bracket to transmission bell
housing bolt(s) and three (3) support bracket to
engine block bolts. Remove support bracket (Fig. 49)
(Fig. 50).
INSTALLATION
2WD
(1) With the engine raised SLIGHTLY, position
insulator assembly onto the engine block and install
bolts (Fig. 46) (Fig. 47). Tighten the bolts to 41 N·m
(30 ft. lbs.) torque.
(2) Lower engine with lifting fixture while guiding
insulator assembly into the engine insulator bracket
(Fig. 48).
(3) Install insulator to bracket thru-bolt. Tighten
the thru-bolt nut to 68 N·m (50 ft. lbs.) torque.
(4) Remove lifting fixture.
(5) Connect the negative cable to the battery.
4WD
(1) If engine support brackets were removed,
install them and their fasteners (Fig. 49) (Fig. 50) .
Tighten support bracket to block bolts to 41 N·m (30
ft. lbs.). Tighten support bracket to transmission bell-
housing bolt(s) to 88 N·m (65 ft. lbs.).
(2) Install Engine mount insulator and tighten
insulator to support bracket nut to 41 N·m (30 ft.
lbs.). Tighten insulator to support bracket through
bolt nut to 102 N·m (75 ft. lbs.).
