How To Replace Torque Mount (Front Engine Mount) on 97-01 Honda CRV

[@historyhunter5215]

Had to dislike damnit...... I just got done doing this and the ac belt/pulley.... I am editing and get notified of this video!!!!! I hate you!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

😂😂😂

[@historyhunter5215]

It's ok I love you again😂🤣😂 mine isnt as detailed but point blank take this off do this and your done lol. I ran into a stuck bolt that was as round as a marble.took 2 days to get it off so I shot what i could when I had time after work and did what I could with one hand.

[@historyhunter5215]

Question,what would cause a air surge sound when accelerating? I have exhausted every outlet and looked everywhere. Is it just a ram pipe sound?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Check the vacuum lines, especially the ones from the booster to the manifold including the check valve.

[@elijah-donabadilla3090]

It was taking me forever to figure out how to take out the driver's side. Thanks for making this vid!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Glad it helped!

[@cri8tor]

Have you considered a video on either replacing the transmission, or rebuilding it? Your videos have been so valuable to me. Can't thank you enough for the detailed instructions you give and the extras you leave in your videos that other content creators edit out. Cheers

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Not yet. I really only perform work as it's needed on my own cars. My transmissions still is good. A little slippage changing from P to D when first driving off but that's it. You don't feel anything else when driving. If I change the transmission I'll probably buy a rebuilt one of jdm one and just replace it.

[@samuelalzate8573]

​@GarageBuiltHondas where would you recommend I get a new transmission for my 98 CR-V? I'm trying to get ahead of it, I think it's on its way out.

[@willstaffan3229]

Hey, I've been doing an engine swap on my 01 CR-V this weekend. Your videos are super helpful!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Love to hear it, and glad to lend a hand!!

[@Monkeybuzzness]

Absolutely STELLAR!!!! Thank you for making the vids you do and looking forward to the future one...speshally the CR-V/B22 ones!!

Good tutorial. Nice camera work. My 1999 CRV needs new torque mounts. Thanks for the help

[@emalyarcos8464]

Question, what was your symptoms for a bad torque mounts ? I saw mine and it was just like in the video I just wanna know if there’s like a noise when you go thru bumps. Because my crv has a sound that I have bad struts but I changed them and still have the same noise

[@Zechs113]

I need to replace mine this is a great help.

[@G0NZ-b9y]

The 14mm bolt in the front at the driver side in my car is loose but doesn't want to come out, did I break something there?

[@frostyflowers4207]

Great video always helpful watching a install before you tackle the task this summer i installed skunk inlet and 70mm throttle body currently working on high flow cat and dc header soon been very helpful your previous video on things similar

Hi, my crv vibrates on 3rd gear between 1800 and 2000 rpm. Someone said torque mounts, u think could be the problem?

[@chiefpacman]

This was helpful. Hope my aftermarket mount does the trick, fingers crossed.

[@diversedad7954]

Putting a new engine in my 1st gen crv right now. Problem is when I went to remove the drivers side torque mount, that 17mm nut on the end would not come off and when I hit it with my impact that whole rod threaded out of the ac bracket assembly. Now I have a new mount but I cannot get the 17mm nut off that bolt that goes through the mount. I've had it in a vice and applied heat and cold to it and my impact still won't get it off.

[@Stormnorman15]

I’m having this same issue did you solve it??!

[@Algorhythm24]

Same issue

[@-BC.]

Any resolutions?

[@vivianverdone340]

Do the mounts for 2001 Honda CR-V automatic transmission have liquid inside them

[@c_h_r_i_s_t_c_o_r_e]

It would be amazing if you could do a video like this for the rear motor mount

[@andyattaway75]

Thanks again for the crv videos!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

You're welcome, got a couple more I'd like to knock out soon, then back to some fun stuff!

[@PulledPurk]

There's always something else dang it. You made this look so easy. Mine has an AC line over those top two mount nuts. Deep socket is too tall and shallow is too shallow. What did you use to get those off?

[@PulledPurk]

I got it. I was afraid to bend the metal part of the AC line out of the way

Does anyone know the size or part number of the bolts for the motor mounts. I was switching mine and found out I was missing one

[@chrisboyd6032]

Do you know what size thread is the 19 mm nut?

[@johnnychimpo2928]

Nice did all of mine when I did timing belt/water pump😁

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I would've also, but didn't have the parts. 👎 Lol

[@bluedrew]

Been having vibration/wobble on left front when accelerating. Looks like from left is shot again. Did this about 5 years ago with something from AutoZone/O'Reilly. What brand did you use?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I bought mine from Amazon

[@j.sQuirtlz]

How easy was ur 19mm nut to come off. Mine took the whole nut and bolt off. Can't seem to get the nut off by itself

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Mine came off easily thankfully. I've removed others that have been difficult like yours.

[@robertschenck4203]

I like the way you had in the size wrenches needed and demonstrated from point-of-view actual I have a question though concerning the driver side front torque Mount I tried to take the 19 and the bolt is turning behind the nut does this mean another part is needed? I cannot see the backside of this part what is the name of the piece the 19 mm nut bolts onto? Many thanks in advance Robert

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It should turn. That stud is part of the ac compressor bracket. Unfortunately you may not be able to replace that mount unless you can get that but removed. It would be a whole other issue having to remove the compressor bracket.

[@jobeppe]

Exactly the same as my Ej9 Civic ('99 Honda Civic for the European market with a D14z2 engine)

[@Michalmichal-wc2em]

I absollutely cant lose that 19mm nut. Maybe i need to cut everything Rubber inside of the mount beacause IT springs. ? Thx

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

You could try it. Maybe use some heat. That'll help a lot of times.

The two bolt holding the mount into the chassis, Are they breakable ? Because someone told me they can brake/snapped.

I The last time I replaced these one of the L side (drivers) frame bolt-hole, the spot weld nut inside the unibody frame croke loose. Do you have tips how to fix this? would a body shop need to fix it?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

You could drill the hole a little larger, and weld a nut into the spot. I've done this before.

[@MystiqueMotives]

Mines our shot would it cause steering wheel vibration, when accelerating?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

That would more likely be an engine mount.

[@NjoyMoney]

I have to do this on my civic, my mounts look even worse? What would be the symptoms, engine movement wich would make the car feel a bit "jerky"? :) Good video once again!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Maybe slightly but I don't think you can really notice. I couldn't tell after the install but it will help extend the life of your motor mounts but taking some of the stress off of them.

[@G0NZ-b9y]

2:40 how do you remove those 2?

[@MerrillSloan]

I am missing the large washer, and the 19mm bolt going thru the mount is significantly smaller in diameter that the mount hole. So how is the mount kept centered on the mounting bolt?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

The washer does that job. It's not a normal washer.

[@loganeubanks9474]

My son has a 97 CRV. What symptoms would be present for bad torque mounts? He’s getting some creaking sounds as he accelerates and brakes. Thanks for the vid.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I'd check the engine mounts and these. Creaking could be something like a bushing also though.

[@theresahoffman8408]

Do you need to support engine when doing the passenger side?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I don't recall, if I didn't in the video then you probably don't have to. If I did, then try it and let me know how it goes. It may work.

[@Caladan1616]

Thanks for the help!

[@Earthstein]

Excellent! Thank You.

[@rickharris5485]

Is the hole in the torque mount supposed to be bigger in diameter than the shaft that goes into it? I just removed mine the other day to do the timing belt and I thought I was missing a bushing or the car had the wrong mount.

Yes

What are the symptoms of these failing? I have had a vibration at 45+. New tires, alignment, drive-shaft and upper diff mounts and it's still there. I'm at my wits end looking for cause.

Doubt these are the issue. These don't do much except help engine movement stability. Ever checked your wheels for balance issues? Actual wheel itself, not tires.

Is this manual transmission?

[@Mid-Ohio]

My 2 14mm bolts are just spinning can’t get them out any suggestions on what I should do?Seems to be no access point

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

The welded nuts have broke loose. You could cut two little windows into the frame rail to feed a wrench in. That's the only way. You'll need that access to tighten them again also.

[@Mid-Ohio]

Garage Built Hondas Thanks! ya not to happy about it but is what it is.Exploring my options thanks for your suggestions very appreciated!Didn’t realize the bolts inside where tack welded beforehand or woulda been more easy goin with it...#TuneUpGoneBad

I had to do the same on my green Civic. It bugged me at first but doesn't bother me at all now since you don't see it. Maybe you'll feel the same way.

[@diego_als]

I have a question... on driver side... if you removed the rubber bolt, it's necessary to low down the engine?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Sometimes but not always. I needed to lower it to be able to pull the mount off, I wasn't able to without lowering it a little.

[@gustavoruiz2291]

There's another video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJfbe5qjr9eCnNU He doesn't talk about it, but he intentionally removes the stud, and then is able to install the mount without releasing the upper mount. What do you think? From FSM, he should have torqued the stud first to 61. The the 14 mm to 33. And lastly the nut to 43. So pissed, I just did this 3 years ago. My car wobbles and vibrates with greater than 2,500 rpm. Mount is shot.

[@windv]

Hi, thanks for the instructions! at 3:33 the new mounts seem to have bigger holes than the bolts they slide onto. They rotate freely and the original ones seem to fit tight. Is that supposed to be like that? cheers

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Mine are like that, once bolted down it'll be just fine.

[@tymitchell8867]

I have the same issue and noise coming from them by find a way to quiet it down !!! Help

[@Justnvrfld99]

Torque specs?

[@glenwolfsheimer3168]

I know its old but why did you replace them ? Because they where ripped broken or because you hear a clunk noise upfront. I hear a cluck noise i replaced alott of shit up front suspension wise and still hear the cluck mine are ripped broken also im hoping this solves the issue. I'll keep you posted.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Mine didn't make any noise or clunk, they were just torn. Might want to check your axles.

[@Michal_S0L]

Get the polyurethane ones mine went bad from brand new in 6 months. When they tear or wear really bad the entire engine will shift under load/ “torque” forward and backward a good 2 inches it’s really bad

[@mdubourcq1]

Been following your instructions, which are excellent. I’m having difficulty loosening the two upper mount nuts that will allow the lowering of the engine. Was there any trick to these? Or are they just going to need some PB Blaster? Thanks again for the excellent videos!!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Try to soak them first, if not use a breaker bar of some sort. I have an old handle from a floor Jack that I'll use as a breaker bar and that really helps.

[@mdubourcq1]

Got it, thanks. Some liquid wrench and a 3 foot black pipe did the trick!! Thanks again.

Nice, you're welcome!

[@mdubourcq1]

It’s been a couple weeks since it replaced these. I’ve been experiencing a vibration at idle, and gets worse at about 30-40 mph, then lessens at higher speeds. Any thoughts on the cause? I have not replaced any of the other mounts. I believe it is an engine vibration, cause it remains at idle. Any theories would be appreciated.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

The actual engine mounts are in need of replacement is the most common issue when experiencing vibrations.

I disagree, not easy to remove mount holding bolts, if their exposed tread is rusted, it took me like 6 hours to replace passnger mount lower and upper, two hours just to remove lower mount bolt because of the rusted tread bolt, I had to torched it first and then remove the bolt slowly so it doesnt break on you, if it breaks,, you freaking done already, you will not be able to drive the car anymore, unless you fix the broken bolt and it will take you very long time may be two days. Oh basically it may too much works if the bolt are rusted, it will take more two hours just to remove the bolts safely without breaking them by using of course a torch flam. And then you need to clean the bolt tread with a metal wire brush before putting back or if they have to much rust and damaged, you need to replace them.
