Default Motor mount help




I finally got rid of the old water pumps and got 2 new pumps from speedway. Problem...now I can't get the rubber motor mount back under the pump. I have only replaced the passenger side pump so far. I have tried using a floor jack under the front corner and also tried using a pry bar to lift the front of the engine up. What is the trick? Thanks in advance.

Al, I always use my floor jack, one side at a time, I stand a 2x4 on top of the jack, staight up, and let the 2x4 rest under the exhaust manifold. Slowly jack the engine up just enough for the mount to go into its place. This has always worked for me. Good luck, Tom
