Hello Salathiel ...I have to do this on a friends 01 deville. I watched your video and thanks for showing all locations. I noticed your clearance issues. im sure you have this completed by now but here is what im going to do based on your video. the tools I have in my garage are 3 ton engine lift, 6 jack stands and four 3.5 ton large floor jacks.after removing the items you did I will chain up engine and trans and then slide a jack under each side of car. I will then jack them up till wheel are clear and slip a pair of stands under for back up and remove wheels. once off I will reset stand to lowest setting and lower car on to them. remove all mounting bolts and such also by the point. after removing old broke ones. so now im going to have same problem you did for the front mount. so I plan to jack engine and trans as high as I can. if I still cant clear the frame I will then use jacks on sides of car to lift up and remove stands and the lower car slowly until I get clearance then reset stands where they can fit to hold the body. I hope this process helps eliminate clearance that you had. I will try to follow up after its done in few days. thanks for the video.
So there are four motor mounts, right? Drivers side, front, passenger side, and rear. Are there any transmission mounts that could go bad and should be checked, too? I'm hoping I just need to replace the single front motor mount. At rest, at a stop, the front of engine is lifted up (due to engine torque) when in drive and clunks back down onto broken(?) motor mount when shifted into neutral or park. Which ones (one) would you replace, in this case? I haven't inspected any of them, yet. Thanks.
I have a 2000 Cadillac Deville. Replacing the front motor mount. The AC line running across between the fans and the motor is making it extremely difficult to get the fans out. How did you do it without also taking the radiator out and pulling them both out as a unit? The fans, at least, definitely need to come out so I can be able to pull this front motor mount and bracket out from the top side of the vehicle. Any tips on how you got the fans out with that AC line in the way, without having to also pull the radiator out? Thanks.
Having to replace the front motor mount....do I have to take the whole bracket with the mount together to get it out? Or is there a way to get that top nut off to the bracket and mount while it’s still in the car.
What size are the 3 bolts on the engine bracket of that rear mount you show last? Got a car cheap but found out after it didn't have that mouth at all! Need those bolts size! Help!
You swingy video camera work gave me a literal headache watching. Don't make so many sudden movements with the camera, next time. Ugh,..I feel seasick.

yes hadda dismount the motor mount firsy
Is the passenger side the same procedure?

the way I got the back out was 15 mm bendable neck gear wrench
Those engineers that design that engine are going to hell
You recorded this video with a 1980s camera!... Geez talk about poor quality!

These are problematic. A motor mount should never go bad.
