arent u meant to put a certain weight onto it i.e 2 tonne?

[williamsvts]

a word of warning....

my old engine mount took 42 tonnes to press it out...

I will be pressing the new powerflex one in using my vice (hopefully) i will let you know how i get on

[fredjudd]

double post.... damn my pc

[williamsvts]

dont press old 1 out. whack a screw driver inbetween teh plastic and the mount body and it will snap the bush. then pull it out and poush your new 1 in. no way should you need to use 42 ton.

[davevts]

i used a minisaw to cut the old one out and pushed the poweflex one in by hand, easy.

took about 15 mins in total.

I tried that williams! didnt want to budge, thank god ive got a mate with acess to a press.... its done now and i will be fitting it on thursday, does it make it proper loud or just a little?

[williamsvts]

not loud, just vibrates the car on cold starts.
