| Post subject: | removing old motor mounts |
2005 lib crd I am trying to replace the motor mounts on my Liberty, after many hours and bloody knuckles I have gotten both nut's off the mount's on both sides, I have also replaced the ceramic glow plugs while I have the intake "horn" removed I can not believe how much carbon is built up in it! My egr is no longer functioning My problem is I am unable to raise the engine to remove the old mounts. I have not loosened the transmission mount. When I try to jack up the motor the whole vehicle want's to raise. The Lib has 192,000 miles on it and is ready for the second timing belt. I didn't change the water pump the first time but will the second. Any ideas on raising the motor. Don H |

The whole vehicle will rise for a bit as you remove the weight of the motor from the chassis, but it should eventually stop and the mounts rise free. I usually do one side at a tim and roll the engine slightly, instead of try to lift the whole engine high enough to take both mounts out. I have never had to loosen the trans mount. |

My copy of another member's post (viewtopic.php?f=98&t=77252) says do mounts one at a time so engine does not shift position which is a risk if you do one at a time and would make reattaching the mounts a bear. |

Lift again, this time grab the engine with your hands and really give it a heave ho.. side to side. a little rust might have caused the mount to 'grow' together a little.. and a little 'attitude adjustment' should do the trick. I pulled mine clear out last month, Seems like the engine came up about 4 inches before it actually outran the springs.. You are also lifting part of the trans too, I was not. |

Thank You gentelmen! Followed your suggestions,and all went well. I am now looking into the P1189 code and loss of power, This happened before the motor mount replacement. I know that the air box connector is very loose. I also spent about four hours trying to install a new serpintine belt,I finally had to bypass the idler on the driver side to get it installed It is very tight. I have checked that I have the right belt,I do. I have changed this belt before and did not enconter this problem as far as I can remember, At 77 I some times forget things like were is that wrench that i just laid down. Thanks again Don H |
