Ok, subject matter aside. This has to be the best, most comprehensive, clearly explained, well lit, no BS video I've ever seen on RUclips on how to do ANYTHING. The DOUBLE wrench drop was epic, you really didn't think you'd get out of there without dropping something did you?
I dropped the oil filler cap down between the engine and firewall once. It didn't hit the floor and there is no metal in the oil filler cap. I had to raise the car (with a floor jack, etc.) just to retrieve it. I made more than an ugly face when i did that. Thanks for the wealth of information. Excellent video.
Thank you for creating this video. Your video enabled me to do it myself. My 2006 Honda Civic GX is appreciative too. The vibrations caused by a third party motor mount was driving us crazy! Replacing with a Honda original parts (50820-SNA-P01 and 50880-SNA-A82) solved our vibration and related noise problem. Providing torque specs was very helpful too.
Thank you for the tiny details such as neutralizing motor mounts, very good advice. I decided to change it myself after watching your video though the local mechanic charge quite decent fee, as I had never seen them using torque wrench! :D
Awesome stuff, man. Your videos saved me loads of cash because it gave me the confidence to work on my Civic. Hoping you can also do a video on how to replace the fuel filter / fuel strainer for this same vehicle.
Thanks for this great video. I'm in Australia and have the RHD variant. The break fluid reservoir sits above the big bolt on the torque strut mount and made removal a real pain in the *** The AC, power steering and brake lines were also a pain to deal with. I now have much more respect for Honda mechanics who have to deal with tiny engine bays on a daily basis!
Thank you for the video and all the torque specs. I just finished this project in about 2 hours without an impact wrench. If you can borrow a 1/2” impact then I highly suggest it. I had an 18” breaker bar and about a 15” pipe on the end and it was almost undoable. All the bolts for the mounts (the 47 & 54 ft-lbs ones) were very difficult to break, I’m 6’ 200lbs for a reference. - Another note, I bought the mount from Honda with the top triangle aluminum bracket attached. I was able to snake the mount with the bracket into place, saving a little time. I didn’t fully remove the bracket that holds the brake lines either. - The hardest bolt to remove was on the backside of the mount. The mixture of brake, AC, and power steering lines made it tough to get to it.
I just finished this repair and i want to say that it was the biggest pain in the rear, bigdog your tutorial was amazing and you explained things really well, it was 10/10, now the issues i experienced during this repair was that the mounting bracket bolt which also comes with the new motor mount did not want to fit in all the way, no matter what i tried it refused to go in, yet it came out very easy when i removed the bracket to fit new motor mount back in, after that the bolt flat out did not want to go in, so i attempted to tighten it as hard as i could and ended up damaging the brand new engine mount, the top part of the mount started spinning and its not supposed to do that, now i left it like that as the screw was still tight and the bracket did not move even though the screw was not all the way in, next bolt issue was the bolt on the torque rod, the one that has the small bracket fit in just fine, now the one next to it(closer to the engine) also refuses to go in all the way, i managed to tighten it up to the proper torque but the screw only went half of the way in, so again i left it like that. A quick tip is, when aligning the mount bracket, make sure to lift the engine up, if you lifted it too high, bring it down a bit(slowly) and it will align perfectly, dont be afraid to push and pull the engine to align it, i had to do that and had no choice, if you aligned the 2 holes of the engine to the bracket but the 3rd one doesnt align, again push and pull the engine to align it, if it aligns for a moment and the engine moves itself back misaligning it, lower the engine a bit, and try pulling and pushing it again, the weight would cause it to stay aligned once you align it. Now i want to point out that my issues with the bolts had nothing to do with how my engine or bracket was aligned, i literally removed the entire mount again and attempted to put the bolt by itself back in without the bracket and it just didnt want to go in all the way, yet somehow it goes right in perfectly on my old mount with the new screw, now after i finished putting everything back together and leaving the 2 bolts tight but not in all the way and also the new mount possibly damaged, i started my car to absolutely no more shaking, i took a drive across the highway and my car was as smooth as a new car, i have never felt my car so smooth, even a possibly broken new mount with the main bracket screw not in all the way and the one torque rod screw half way in, my car still feels like new, now the torque rods job is to prevent engine movement back and forth, so having 1 bolt in half way doesnt affect it since the engine doesnt move up and down because the mount prevents that, now the bracket mount bolt was tight enough and the bracket was tight and did not move so i can say that it seemed safe to leave it that way(though i dont recommend it) but i had no choice, and its not my fault that the stupid bolt just decided to not fit all the way, brand new bolt that came in with the engine mount. So theres my story
Thank you. I had the same experience and your comments gave me the confidence to wrestle the engine until the bolt holes would line up. I thought for sure it would come off the jack because I was pulling so hard to the front and passenger side.
One of the best videos on youtube. Thanks. Torque is important. I see a lot of guys, including some professionals, that either don't apply torque correctly, or just, in the name of profit and time...don't torque at all, or only those items they deem necessary. Why they think they're better than the engineers that designed the fastening system, you got me.
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Format was fantastic. It’s like we’re there next to you being instructed and the correct way. Thanks again!
This is fantastic. I really appreciate your video. I need this particular mount changed eventually, and I think I'll be able to do it myself from watching this video.
Thanks for the video! Really helps us 8th gen owners. Is anyone going to say how clean that engine is being 13 years old when this was released? Kudos to you! I am going to do this job in a week.
Just changed my mount thanks to this video and saved a lot of money follow his instructions step by step and don’t skip steps like I did it will save you a lot of time and brain cells.
Thank you for such an informational tutorial 👍👍 I can tell you really did your research, which is unfortunately few and far between on RUclips. Earned a like and a subscriber today
Excelente video me sirvió mucho, arreglé mi carro, aparte me ayudo para conseguir la herramienta correcta, tengo una pregunta, tienes los otros videos para los otros soportes?
Dave another good video. Oh and by the way, once I had that extra cup of coffee the drive CV axle popped right out. Dave, I just found out that Honda changed the oil spec on my 99 3.0 Honda engine from 5w30 to 5w20. Thought it was a misprint but I Emailed them and they confirmed it that 99 Honda 3.0s now use 5w20. Well, at least now both my Hondas 3.5 and 3.0 use the same oil. Who knew. ❤️️
Yeah they changed it so that many of the older models can take either weight, I usually stick with what is on the oil cap but you can't really go wrong either way. Glad you got it fixed!
nice video..Great to see the use of OEM parts and Hardware..just did a 2007 EX with5 sp. ALL mounts...someone had replaced the rt.main/upper/rubber/assy. (reinstalled the old "uppr. torque rod")with Non OEM and the thing failed after 30k . it caused the other mounts to stress and it was best to replace everything...NOT CHEAP..for OEM but well worth the investment!!! Like a new car "Smooth as silk" Thanks again be safe out there!
Awesome!! There's no gap between the bracket and the bottle mounting on my car. Mechanic mentioned that the mounting needs to be replaced. There's also a squeak coming when driving the car. Could the failed mounting be the reason for that squeak? Do failed top engine mountings cause squeak noises when driving straight?
hello the master machine, as a person that not understand about cars at all like me, first thing i need help is how many mounts in this car and how do i know that which one was bad so i can be replace the right one, thank you very much , great job.
Thanks so much man! My Civic is going on a third loop, just passed 205,000 miles, and I used your videos to do most of the maintenance! You're a legend man. P.S. Any chance you could make a video on how to replace timing chain on 8th gen Civic? Don't need it yet, but there's not a single video on youtube how to do it, and it's a hell of a job for a regular DIY noob like me to attempt it.
Those cam chains are fairly reliable as long as the oil is changed regularly and the oil level is properly maintained. If I ever get one that needs it I will try and film it. Thanks for the comment!
Big Dog50001 Automotive thanks for replying! I’ve been changing oil (synthetic) like clockwork every 7k miles, but! I work as an Uber driver part time while in school, and drive about a thousand miles a week doing it, plus other commutes and so on. I figure the chain has to stretch out at some point, after this many miles? I mean Honda is amazing, but just how amazing really? Lol Anyway, do you know if tensioner has any sensor to let the owner know the chain stretched out too much and is about to jump? And, apart from listening for rattle, is there any way to find out if something is wrong with it (the chain)? Thanks again!
Just remember, good oil at the *proper level* will generally prevent chain issues. There is no sensor that monitors the tensioner itself. What happens is the cam and crank will get out of sync and it can set a Cam/Crank signal correlation code. If a cam chain or timing belt skips a tooth it will run very poorly (if at all) and can also set a MAP sensor code, as seen in this video: ruclips.net/video/i26HlTEYr88/видео.html.
You have a lot of automotive tools especially you can’t buy them from a local store..... I believe those are snap on?? Guessing you are a certified mechanic. Thanks for your video 👍
Just what Honda recommends, most likely based on the amount of torque/stress/heat/vibration etc the bolts/nuts are expected to see during their lifespan. Thanks for the comment!
Sir , Great video, i have quick question i used your link to buy the honda mount it came today in Honda box from Japan , How do you tell its a real Honda part. My orginal mount have a big part number on it this one doesn't . Thks
My noise was the tensioner being lose, be sure to check if its vibrating and making the noise before you go replacing the engine mounts like me. I was able to put a stick on the tensioner bold and felt the vibrations, can't believe I didn't think of that before.
Doing 1995 honda odyssey head rebuld what rebuild kit would you recommend. Odyssey has 300,000 miles on it . Looking at enginetech, felpro, evergreen etc oem beyond my budget. Great video as usual using wifeys ipad
I have not seen an issue with these so typically don't do it unless I find there is a vibration issue after. All engine mounts would have to be loosened and then re-torqued after neutralizing them. Thanks for the comment!
Question, I this something that should be done at a certain mileage for preventative maintenance or should we wait until the absolutely need to be replaced?
Another quick tip,is, according to the repair manual i have, you DO NOT need to have your engine supported at all when ONLY changing the upper torque rod, that means that if you are doing both jobs such as engine mount and upper torque rod, after finishing installing the new engine mount and finally torquing the bracket to the engine and mount, you can now remove the jack supporting the engine before installing the upper torque rod, in my experience when i left the engine supported while installing the torque rod, the bolts refused to properly line up, now fast forward 3 weeks later, i replaced my upper torque rod and did not have to support the engine, and this time the bolts lined up and screwed in perfectly with no trouble. This only applies to torque rod. Please support engine with block of wood and a jack when removing engine mounts.
THANK YOU! I made the mistake of leaving on the mount because the factory unit came that way. Wow was it hard getting the other parts in! I also reused the old bolts because my local Honda Specialist shop told me they always reuse the bolts and never had issues (been open for over 20 years). Is there a reason why Hond wants you to replace the bolts? I'll check the torque in a couple weeks just in case. Great detailed video!
I've heard someone say the bolts are 'torque to yield', for those that don't know, it means the bolts stretch to the right tension and maintain it accordingly.. Im happy to take the advice of the 20yr veteran Honda mechanic and re-use. On a cylnder head however, you just wouldn't run that risk.. But these are accessible if anything happens so yeah.. Thanks for the video!
according to the manual, before tightening the bolts, loosen the transmission mounting and the lower push-pull rod. tighten the right cushion, then the transmission mounting and lower push-pull rod. otherwise vibration may occur
You can put a jack (with a piece of wood) under there for safety, but in many cases a jack is not necessary for front mounts unless the nuts/bolts do not line up.
I have this issue with my car right now. There is a noise from the right part of my car. I thought it was the suspension. But I think this is the problem. I have a Honda Civic SI 2008
I did this on my 07’ Civic and the car rides AND shifts smoother so replace the torque rod! NOTE - also replace the two bolts holding the main mount to the frame with new ones. Mine were stretched and rusted to the point where one sheered in the frame while trying to remove it so be aware! It was obvious the bolts weren’t replaced by the last person to replace this mount.
I have the exact same car. I ordered the “genuine” engine mount part from eBay that came from Japan. At first glance of the box looks legit with the Honda sticker but I believe the red fonts look a bit less bolder than yours and is missing a the point in between “03”. You can also see two small rips that are on one side of the box corners. The brown tape wasn’t sealed they just but the clear tape over it. Opened it and I see Japanese newspaper wrap around the part which was tightly fitted. The bottom of the mount is what cause the rips on the corners of the box. It has both parts, the metal plate and the mount itself from just looking at it doesn’t have major imperfections but I did notice that your plate on the video and the Amazon plate picture has a “S - 3”. Mine says “S - 4”. Another thing since these have oil inside aren’t I suppose to hear the guild moving around when I shake it?! Other than that great video definitely following this once I verify this! Meantime I’ll follow your introductions w/ replacing power steering fluid 🙏🏼

I will say that this is one of the, if not the, best tutorial I have seen from a mechanic. Thank you so much for this!
You are one of the best Mechanic out there, well explained and well done.
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
I second that.....I wish I knew if you were close to Ohio. I would love to use you for my mounts.
3rd that. A real pro job :-)
Ok, subject matter aside. This has to be the best, most comprehensive, clearly explained, well lit, no BS video I've ever seen on RUclips on how to do ANYTHING. The DOUBLE wrench drop was epic, you really didn't think you'd get out of there without dropping something did you?
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
I dropped the oil filler cap down between the engine and firewall once. It didn't hit the floor and there is no metal in the oil filler cap. I had to raise the car (with a floor jack, etc.) just to retrieve it. I made more than an ugly face when i did that. Thanks for the wealth of information. Excellent video.
Never fun when you drop something in the engine compartment and it doesn't hit the floor! Thanks for the comment!
This is probably the best car repair video I have ever seen on any YT channel. Thanks VERY much for this well done video.
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
the right tools make all the difference!
They do help, thanks for the comment!
Thank you for creating this video. Your video enabled me to do it myself. My 2006 Honda Civic GX is appreciative too. The vibrations caused by a third party motor mount was driving us crazy! Replacing with a Honda original parts (50820-SNA-P01 and 50880-SNA-A82) solved our vibration and related noise problem. Providing torque specs was very helpful too.
Nice to see someone use a torque wrench. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks!
Thank you for the tiny details such as neutralizing motor mounts, very good advice. I decided to change it myself after watching your video though the local mechanic charge quite decent fee, as I had never seen them using torque wrench! :D
Thanks for the comment!
Awesome stuff, man. Your videos saved me loads of cash because it gave me the confidence to work on my Civic. Hoping you can also do a video on how to replace the fuel filter / fuel strainer for this same vehicle.
Thanks for this great video. I'm in Australia and have the RHD variant. The break fluid reservoir sits above the big bolt on the torque strut mount and made removal a real pain in the ***
The AC, power steering and brake lines were also a pain to deal with. I now have much more respect for Honda mechanics who have to deal with tiny engine bays on a daily basis!
How or why would someone dislike this video. Literally the best instruction video ever
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Thank you for the video and all the torque specs. I just finished this project in about 2 hours without an impact wrench. If you can borrow a 1/2” impact then I highly suggest it. I had an 18” breaker bar and about a 15” pipe on the end and it was almost undoable. All the bolts for the mounts (the 47 & 54 ft-lbs ones) were very difficult to break, I’m 6’ 200lbs for a reference.
- Another note, I bought the mount from Honda with the top triangle aluminum bracket attached. I was able to snake the mount with the bracket into place, saving a little time. I didn’t fully remove the bracket that holds the brake lines either.
- The hardest bolt to remove was on the backside of the mount. The mixture of brake, AC, and power steering lines made it tough to get to it.
Well done! and explained all the detail of the work .Keep up the good work and you help lot's people to fixed their own Honda Civic . Thank you!
I appreciate the comment, thanks!

Experience man, if you've never turned wrenches you have no point of reference. But after a few years, you just you know what 12 Nm feels like
Extremely detailed, thorough, helpful, well explained, & filmed tutorial. Much favor, fist bumps, & love, thanks!
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Format was fantastic. It’s like we’re there next to you being instructed and the correct way. Thanks again!
Wow this is a game changer. I just bought new motor mounts 40k ago and i did this mod before re ordering a paid and wiw it works great
Great at explaining,. Thanks for those tips. I would've gone crazy and lose it 👍
Big Dog as usual an excellent detailed video! Thanks for the helpful hints.
Thank you!
👍 most rust free engine compartment I’ve seen.
Thank you for the details on engine to bracket line up. Trying to complete a repair now.
Arizona is awesome!
This is fantastic. I really appreciate your video. I need this particular mount changed eventually, and I think I'll be able to do it myself from watching this video.
Approaching vibration zone, on mine one, and thank to you I know what to do. Many thanks for very detailed video with part numbers.
Thanks for the video! Really helps us 8th gen owners. Is anyone going to say how clean that engine is being 13 years old when this was released? Kudos to you! I am going to do this job in a week.

Thanks!
Thank you, I appreciate the support!
Simply the best I've seen on RUclips. Thank you, you're awesome. God bless you
Thank you!
Thanks a lot Big Dog, now I can do our Civic mounts. Have a wonderful day.
Great Video - very well done!! You're a Master Mechanic AND a Master Instructor!
Thanks!
Thanks for that last tip at the end my mechanic replaced the mounts and it still kept vibrating i kept complaining but he didn't know what to do ):
Nuetralizing the engine mounts good to know

👍
Absolutely fantastic video! Wow. Impressive! Thank you!
Thanks for the comment!
BIG DOG, You are the best!
Thanks 👍!
Some nice tools you used also
Awesome Repair Video. Thank you for doing it!
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Thanks for the lesson sir! Doing mine right now in 2020. Shalauuam(peace in paleo Hebrew)!
👍
Can't wait to get my Honda!
I'm holding my breath!! lol
Dont.. Save yourself on all the headaches lol
Dave another good video. Oh and by the way, once I had that extra cup of coffee the drive CV axle popped right out. Dave, I just found out that Honda changed the oil spec on my 99 3.0 Honda engine from 5w30 to 5w20. Thought it was a misprint but I Emailed them and they confirmed it that 99 Honda 3.0s now use 5w20. Well, at least now both my Hondas 3.5 and 3.0 use the same oil. Who knew. ❤️️
Yeah they changed it so that many of the older models can take either weight, I usually stick with what is on the oil cap but you can't really go wrong either way. Glad you got it fixed!
I'll stick with what is on the oil cap. No sense changing now. It says 5w30 it gets 5w30. It's like my coffee I stick with what works lol 👍
nice video..Great to see the use of OEM parts and Hardware..just did a 2007 EX with5 sp. ALL mounts...someone had replaced the rt.main/upper/rubber/assy. (reinstalled the old "uppr. torque rod")with Non OEM and the thing failed after 30k . it caused the other mounts to stress and it was best to replace everything...NOT CHEAP..for OEM but well worth the investment!!! Like a new car "Smooth as silk" Thanks again be safe out there!
OEM is typically the best way to go but sometimes aftermarket is the only option unfortunately. Thanks for the comment!
Excellent detail, thank you for all the specific part numbers and advice. Love your channel!
You are very organized with the way you work. Thumbs up! 👍 Just subscribed and smashed that bell notification.
Awesome, thanks and welcome!
Very good video but how do I know which Mount is bad
Visual inspection is usually best. I did a video on diagnosing this one: ruclips.net/video/dRHyR1lOx70/видео.html
To do a good job ya need the right tools. Thanks for the informative video, good job. 👍 Very thorough.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Great vid,you work good and explain well,keep them coming
Excellent video,I have a mk8 civic and even though doesn't need doing,just nice to see it being done!very professional
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Them gear wrench set of long ratcheting wrenches is nice
I do like them a lot, very nice set.
Just finished the repair. Couldn't have been easier thanks to your help.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
you sould also invlude the after fix engine mount load test to see the difference from before
Thank you so much! This video was very helpful
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
Awesome!!
There's no gap between the bracket and the bottle mounting on my car.
Mechanic mentioned that the mounting needs to be replaced.
There's also a squeak coming when driving the car. Could the failed mounting be the reason for that squeak?
Do failed top engine mountings cause squeak noises when driving straight?
What Milwaukee impact driver was that
hello the master machine, as a person that not understand about cars at all like me, first thing i need help is how many mounts in this car and how do i know that which one was bad so i can be replace the right one, thank you very much , great job.
Thank you your very clear on showing the process
👍
This guy kills it with common sense and pragmatics which inadvertently comes out as humorous..🤣🤔🤗😶🤨
fantastic job/are you in texas/thanks much

Big Dog50001 Automotive thanks for replying! I’ve been changing oil (synthetic) like clockwork every 7k miles, but! I work as an Uber driver part time while in school, and drive about a thousand miles a week doing it, plus other commutes and so on. I figure the chain has to stretch out at some point, after this many miles? I mean Honda is amazing, but just how amazing really? Lol
Anyway, do you know if tensioner has any sensor to let the owner know the chain stretched out too much and is about to jump? And, apart from listening for rattle, is there any way to find out if something is wrong with it (the chain)? Thanks again!
Just remember, good oil at the *proper level* will generally prevent chain issues. There is no sensor that monitors the tensioner itself. What happens is the cam and crank will get out of sync and it can set a Cam/Crank signal correlation code. If a cam chain or timing belt skips a tooth it will run very poorly (if at all) and can also set a MAP sensor code, as seen in this video: ruclips.net/video/i26HlTEYr88/видео.html.
Excellent video, how much would be approximately the cost in parts and labor in total for honda civic...?
Thank you for the video, I’ll be replacing mine soon. Do you know what the torque specs are for the lower torque mount? The one by the oil pan?
Your video was very helpful, thank you so much for sharing this!
No problem 👍!
Well explained with tightening torques 🙏🏾
👍
Best video out there for this job, thank you sir
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
At least you got the wrench back! Sometimes they get lost down there!
👍
Great repair brother
Thanks!
You have a lot of automotive tools especially you can’t buy them from a local store..... I believe those are snap on?? Guessing you are a certified mechanic. Thanks for your video 👍
Thank you for the comment!
Excellent tutorial
Excellent video 👍🏻
Thank you, this helped a lot!
No problem 👍!
do you have a video on the test where you push the brakes and accelration on a fix rubber mount?
Great video! Is there an explanation why some of the bolts need replacing? Thanks
Just what Honda recommends, most likely based on the amount of torque/stress/heat/vibration etc the bolts/nuts are expected to see during their lifespan. Thanks for the comment!
Excellent job & video thanks! Bill B, Charleston SC.
Sir , Great video, i have quick question i used your link to buy the honda mount it came today in Honda box from Japan , How do you tell its a real Honda part. My orginal mount have a big part number on it this one doesn't . Thks
When the engine drops does it affect the connection to the transmission?
My noise was the tensioner being lose, be sure to check if its vibrating and making the noise before you go replacing the engine mounts like me.
I was able to put a stick on the tensioner bold and felt the vibrations, can't believe I didn't think of that before.
Can you use the after market part for this engine mount? Thank you.
I have a 2009 Honda Civic. Do I need to replace all of the engine mounts at the same time or can I replace them one at a time? Thanks!
Great vid! Great work!

Doing 1995 honda odyssey head rebuld what rebuild kit would you recommend. Odyssey has 300,000 miles on it . Looking at enginetech, felpro, evergreen etc oem beyond my budget. Great video as usual using wifeys ipad
I generally only like to use OEM for that stuff but I do like Fel-Pro, they make pretty good products. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you!
Why not neutralize the mounts before you torque them to spec?
I have not seen an issue with these so typically don't do it unless I find there is a vibration issue after. All engine mounts would have to be loosened and then re-torqued after neutralizing them. Thanks for the comment!
Question, I this something that should be done at a certain mileage for preventative maintenance or should we wait until the absolutely need to be replaced?
Great job👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Amazing job
Thanks 👍!
Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the comment!
Another quick tip,is, according to the repair manual i have, you DO NOT need to have your engine supported at all when ONLY changing the upper torque rod, that means that if you are doing both jobs such as engine mount and upper torque rod, after finishing installing the new engine mount and finally torquing the bracket to the engine and mount, you can now remove the jack supporting the engine before installing the upper torque rod, in my experience when i left the engine supported while installing the torque rod, the bolts refused to properly line up, now fast forward 3 weeks later, i replaced my upper torque rod and did not have to support the engine, and this time the bolts lined up and screwed in perfectly with no trouble. This only applies to torque rod. Please support engine with block of wood and a jack when removing engine mounts.
THANK YOU! I made the mistake of leaving on the mount because the factory unit came that way. Wow was it hard getting the other parts in! I also reused the old bolts because my local Honda Specialist shop told me they always reuse the bolts and never had issues (been open for over 20 years). Is there a reason why Hond wants you to replace the bolts? I'll check the torque in a couple weeks just in case. Great detailed video!
I believe Honda recommends replacing nuts/bolts on certain applications due to possible damage and wear due to heat/vibration/corrosion etc.
I've heard someone say the bolts are 'torque to yield', for those that don't know, it means the bolts stretch to the right tension and maintain it accordingly.. Im happy to take the advice of the 20yr veteran Honda mechanic and re-use. On a cylnder head however, you just wouldn't run that risk.. But these are accessible if anything happens so yeah..
Thanks for the video!
Nice shiny tools! Great tips
Thanks!
according to the manual, before tightening the bolts, loosen the transmission mounting and the lower push-pull rod. tighten the right cushion, then the transmission mounting and lower push-pull rod. otherwise vibration may occur
Great informative video. I'm about to do this particular job and had one question. Are the torque levels the correct specifications to Honda?
I get my torque specs right from Honda service information.
thanks so much for this video helped a lot, great explanation, two thumps up!!!
Thanks 👍!
Thanks for the instruction. For the front mount, is it advisable to jack up the car also, or can I just remove the mount?
You can put a jack (with a piece of wood) under there for safety, but in many cases a jack is not necessary for front mounts unless the nuts/bolts do not line up.
Wath was the problem that make you change the bracket?
Great video. Good job
I have this issue with my car right now. There is a noise from the right part of my car. I thought it was the suspension. But I think this is the problem. I have a Honda Civic SI 2008
Thanks 👍!
I did this on my 07’ Civic and the car rides AND shifts smoother so replace the torque rod! NOTE - also replace the two bolts holding the main mount to the frame with new ones. Mine were stretched and rusted to the point where one sheered in the frame while trying to remove it so be aware! It was obvious the bolts weren’t replaced by the last person to replace this mount.
👍
I see that the part number is 50820-SNA-P01. Is it the same fit on the coupe style?
I have the exact same car. I ordered the “genuine” engine mount part from eBay that came from Japan. At first glance of the box looks legit with the Honda sticker but I believe the red fonts look a bit less bolder than yours and is missing a the point in between “03”. You can also see two small rips that are on one side of the box corners. The brown tape wasn’t sealed they just but the clear tape over it. Opened it and I see Japanese newspaper wrap around the part which was tightly fitted. The bottom of the mount is what cause the rips on the corners of the box. It has both parts, the metal plate and the mount itself from just looking at it doesn’t have major imperfections but I did notice that your plate on the video and the Amazon plate picture has a “S - 3”. Mine says “S - 4”. Another thing since these have oil inside aren’t I suppose to hear the guild moving around when I shake it?! Other than that great video definitely following this once I verify this! Meantime I’ll follow your introductions w/ replacing power steering fluid 🙏🏼
What size is the block of wood?
