just bend up and out of the way- it is only a small bit- no need to fuss with removal of all that crap
I can confirm, took me less than 10 mins to replace it without having to remove all that crap
Davis Gunner hello there was wondering do I need to jack up the engine at all or will it sit still long enough to replace mount? Thank you in advance and what a dope video !!
Right
Torque specs for both of these bolts are 63 ft-lbs according to manufacturer's service manual. Stubby 18mm socket with long reach ratchet helps very much for this job. Can be done in under 30 minutes.
I just did this on my Altima. I removed the strut bar but just shifted it around rather than risking breaking more brittle clips. I'm definitely happy I saw this since it made getting a torque wrench on that top bolt really easy. Saved myself over a hundred dollars doing it myself too.
Awesome!
You don't have to remove all the wipers and tower bar that's to much work
😂
So you don’t need to lift or hold the engine?? The other 3 will hold???
Yes
Awesome video. I'm a DIYer who saves tons of money with videos like this.
Thanks, same here!
Great direction and instructions for my 2012 Nissan Maxima. I found there was no short cuts or ways around any steps. I did it exactly as stated, and it worked out perfectly well. Thanks for your help!
Glad it helped.
There is a shortcut, just remove the strut bar bolts, and lift the bar just enough to take out the mount bolt under it. You don't have to take off all the other stuff or remove the strut bar. Saves a huge amount of time and effort. (Work smarter not harder)
You will also need to remove the windshield, the hood, the trunk, the transmission and the front 2 tires, to make it easier to remove that bolt. otherwise great video 🤣🤣🤣
Shhh! You'll give away all Nissan Service's secrets on how they calculate "hours of labor required" !
Ahhahaah!!! This is hillarious. I like that. Should we take the rear tires too, just for safety?😂
You don't need to remove all that .just remove the bolt .lift the ate with a flat screw a lite then remove the bolt n take out the turk mount
At 3:50, the narration states to move the brake fluid reservoir, but that is clearly labeled Power Steering.
😬 Oops...
Good catch!
Habit. This is where brake fluid tank is located on my Highlander Hybrid...
Great video but the torque specs would be helpful. [EDIT:] I found the torque specs elsewhere, it's 69 ft/lbs for the vertical bolt and 63 for the horizontal bolt. Thanks again, this was a big help. [EDIT:] Actually my original info was wrong, it's 63 for both bolts, based on the factory service manual.
Thank you for sharing this info!
Thanks bro
THNX MAN HELPFUL!!
You can find your torque specs by googling the cars service manual - it's different than the owners manual an includes all torque specs. You can get free digital copies online!
Where can i buy only the bolts with the nut for the front right mount? I replace the mount but the nut or bolt was defective and got stuck.
thats a gnarly lookin brake fluid resivor
I have a easy way to do it:
Just remove 2 bolts located on top of the strut tower bar, (13 mm) use a crowbar to make space and take that top annoying 18 mm bolt off from the motor mount, if you don't have a crowbar, use a screwdriver underneath to hold that metal thing ( the strut tower bar up).
then move the power steering reservoir on the side and take the other 18 mm bolt off that's it.
Yea, I realized that way after I did this according to official Nissan repair manual.
@@DIYtime great video very helpful, the editing is wonderful.
Thanks!
Thanks for the video
Did anyone notice steering wheel vibration at idle that fades away when car warms up on them Nissan after replacement?
Check if any of the vacuum hoses got unplugged or damaged by any chance.
Do I need to lift the engine to do this?
Yea I was thinking the same
@@chubz9192 I did it without lifting the engine it went fine
@@mateostudent7166 thanks🤝
You dont have to do all that to remove the damn bolt
Yea, I was already told that before :(
I was following the official Nissan repair manual... I just didn't even try to bend the cowl, I thought it won't budge.
No wonder why they overcharge people at their service department...
Most important part was left out! What are the torque specifications? Very important ECSPECIALLY when dealing with aluminum.
I don’t say those cuz they may vary by model. I leave it to owners to look up and find correct info.
@@DIYtime why? It's the same on all the vehicles! It doesn't vary by state or anything. That's the most important part of the job!
Also this job doesn't vary by models, it's only for this make and model. And the only reason anyone is going to watch this video is to have help on working on the same car and part you're installing. You mind as well delete the video and have people look the whole job up on thier own.
No they are not. 2.5 and 3.5 engines could have different mounts, and sometimes different torque values. I have service manual and values are often different for these two different engines, even though they are on the same model.
You forgot to put the washer back on the vertical bolt during reassembly.
I think it is missing on my car. It was not there even in the beginning of the video... 🤔
I just got done doing this same replacement. My vertical bolt did not have a washer to begin with as well. The horizontal bolt that goes in to the engine has a washer. 07 Altima
@@skyranch9298 ill watch out for this on the weekend, see if Im also missing a vertical bolt washer...
I can confirm as well, vertical bolt DID NOT have a washer, horizontal bolt did have a washer, 2007 Nissan Altima, 4 cylinder engine
What crazy
Quick question: So I dont need to place a jackstand under the engine?
No, not for this one.
This is ridiculous. There's absolutely no need to remove all the strut bar, wipers and shit to remove the top bolt from the mount. You just need to remove the bolt from the passenger side and pry it up a bit and the mount top bolt will have enough space to come out. Duh.
Dang, you are right. I watched some other videos and looks like it is possible. I followed the OEM factory repairs manual and that's what is is showing. I assumed that bolt is too long and you must remove the entire strut bar. Complete waste of time...
Now we know how dealer finds ways to make simple repairs lengthy and expensive...
@@DIYtime the dealer "charges" you for the time it would take to remove everything...the mechanic takes the 15 min short cut and guess on to the next job
Pretty much! 😁
Would this be the reason why the car vibrates at idle? Mines going bad
Could be.
@@DIYtime the plastic pieces around the grounds do you need those?
Not sure what you are referring to....
hey i have the same car and i changed every single mount but still when i am driving i feel the engine sometimes move when i press the gas and i can feel its like sudden move idk how can i explain but when i am on the traffic and when stop and right when i press the gas the engine moves literally could it be something else ?? thats causing it.
Retighten all the bolts.
Retigthen. But you may want to see if you're low on transmission fluid
Check ur control arms too
Sometimes if they buy cheap aftermarket part would do that too
Nissan is trying to charge me $300 just for that
That’s why I like to do it myself... 😁
