Hello everyone, I've been searching around and seem to be having trouble on finding how some of ya'll where able to replace your motor mounts, and or central support shaft. I just would like to know how you guys where able to replace the motors, what did you use, how did you do it. Thank you guys!:nerd:

2WD or 4WD?

The procedure is in general same for both (lift motor or drop crossmember while supporting motor; unbolt old; bolt new; drop motor or lift crossmember) - but the crossmember is welded on for a 2WD, and is the diff for a 4WD, so the procedure is different.

Also, *broken record* the Factory Service Manual covers it with pictures. I'd HIGHLY recommend finding one and perusing it.

It's a 2wd drive, I've seen a device Manuel from rockauto. When you talk about supporting, are you guys using jack, and piece of wood on the oil pan? I would use a lift but don't see anywhere I can chain up too.
I definitely would write up how'd I did it if I can successfully do it, of not, then local garage would replace all my mounts for 380$

I've not seen Manuel (he's not happy I No Habla Espanol), but they do have the BISHKO manual in paper and on CD-ROM. You can also find both on Ebay for a bit less.

For a 2WD, you can jack it up with a brace under the oil pan. That's a bit snug, but it works.

The brace closet to the crankshaft pully or more rear of the oilpan, forgive my noobiness, first time replacing this part.

Whichever works for you.

Last time I did this on a vehicle, it was under the rear of the oil pan (actually the front of a front sump oil pan, but still ...)
