2000-2005 Chevy Impala 3.8 upper engine mount replacement

[@ron9594]

at 31seconds you rocked the engine by hand to show the strut is worn out. this idea helped me get the bolt back in by rocking the engine while a helper tapped the bolt with a hammer .A big thanks to you and God Bless

Glad I could help! Thanks for the comment!

the struts on my 00' 3.4L are shot, love the honest comments youve been giving. Thanks for a good laugh and good information at the same time. :))

Is there another way to move the motor forward to put the mount back in ?

[@SargentRestoration]

I've done it before with a ratchet strap around a bracket or another part of the engine that's sturdy and then attached the other end to the core support. When you crank the strap, it'll pull the engine forward. That method is just more sketchy

Nice job

[@user-bh7oc7tf3s]

So supporting the engine with a jack underneath isn't necessary?

[@SargentRestoration]

It's not a bad idea, I did one side at a time but it you plan on remove both sides at once then yes. It'll help keep the engine from shifting back if you do keep a jack under it
