sorry to be off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.

[@unsilentmajority1684]

You're not supposed to remove that entire stud from the engine, just the nut. That's why the threads got jacked up. The engine was not lifted enough and the weight pulled it down damaging the threads.

[@wethepeople5411]

OMG! Went to a mechanic and my 2007 Honda had a bad engine mount. Cost? $550.00. I said WTF? I looked A-1 Auto and saw your video ordered the parts from A-1 Auto and decided to attempt to do it myself. In 1-1/2 hours I was done! Followed every step by step and it sucks because now I can hear my wife talking when I drive! Anyway, great video, thorough and to the point!!! Thanks A-1. You saved me a lot of money!!!!

How did their engine mount after a year? Still great? I'm debating if I should get oem or aftermarket

[@pigeneguerra]

Thanks! I replaced my transmission mount, motor mount, and lower torque strut yesterday. I had the laptop next to car, watch a step, pause video, do a step, repeat until done. It went perfect. The video even tells the correct torque. Excellent job!

[@davejohnson6144]

Hi , just curious why you replaced all your motor mounts? Was your car interior vibrating while at idle in drive or reverse? Thats what mine is doing but not sure what the problem is. My engine rpms is very steady while in drive or reverse at idle. Would replacing engine mounts help?

[@jaimesoncortez]

@@davejohnson6144 probably. It was a very common problem with 8th gen civics. (Do a quick Google search.) My 2008 sedan is vibrating at low RPM’s and when cold, so I’m replacing the two front engine mounts first (visible damage to the rubber) and then seeing how it runs before I change out anything else.

[@natethetoe386]

Thankyou. I just completed this repair on my car. Saved me some cash. One thing I did that helped me was removing the wiper fluid tube. It is just a little clip and then pull it out. Made a little more room to work in.

[@johnhoog8279]

Replaced the passenger side mount and torque strut. Put enough lift on the engine, he messed up the threads because the engine wasn't lifted enough, just watch for engine movement when removing the bolt and nut. Remove the AC line bracket if you can or you will unnecessarily stress the AC line. Also remove the bolt that attaches the top mount bracket to the side of the engine bay it will give you the room to remove the mount. His nut was corroded in place, mine came right off. The top portion of my mount had separated causing bad vibration when backing up, and when maintaining speed or slowing down. Couldn't be seen until removal. Engine feels as smooth as silk now, do what I did - buy the whole set from them and replace both mounts and torque rods. Average time to replace each area 2 hours, glad I don't have his corrosion problems.

Has it held up good? Or should I go OEM

Thanks for the video! I changed the mount on a 2008 civic with only 46K miles. I didn’t think it needed it as it look great. However, after 13 years it still needed changed. Thanks again as it was super easy

[@juanlastrareyes1086]

Thank you so much for the product and information. I bought the kit for manual transmissions. I replaced all of them and the cabin plastic rattling stopped. I am grateful for the video as well. You guys are the MVPs

[@45kingofkings]

How are the mounts doing so far

[@EATSLEEPJD]

Tip for anyone doing this. I did this exactly a year ago. 1 year later the mount went bad again with excessive vibrations. 1A Auto offers lifetime warranty on these mounts so they replaced it. This time around I went ahead and did the transmission mount along with the engine mount. I suggest you do this because if the tranny mount is bad also this could end up ruining the engine mount. They are installed parallel. The small torque link in the bottom was also replaced.

[@nightmusic1one27]

This was a fairly tough job but worth it, saving about $650

[@ride129]

It's the attention to detail that separates the Masters from the shade tree mechanics such as chasing the threads, using the white grease and always torquing everything to factory specs. As the military says "sign your work". Great job!

[@zacharykrawczyk3942]

There seems to be a problem with the part I ordered from you guys, now I can hear everything else wrong with my car! But really though, as a broke college student: selling the part for $60 and making a good video about it? You guys are doing the lord’s work.

[@Orangeraider177]

At 4:00, you show the captured bolt. Is this always captured or was the nut just rusted to the bolt? I’ve seen other videos where the nut comes off.

[@johnjoseph7382]

no, it's definitely captured

[@johnjoseph7382]

it has a little room to move around, it's best to have the car on level ground when doing this job, if you are on a sloped driveway the engine will tilt back and make this job really hard

[@shadiestone2949]

This is a bit older but in case others are curious later. The nut does come off. He meant captured as the bolt can't be removed from the top as it gets stopped, even with the nut off. If you pull from below, without the nut there, it can be removed. The reason he kept the that piece on during all of it was because of the amount of rust the portion above the nut had.

[@1AAuto]

+Shadiest One Thanks for the tip!

[@seandeterman2499]

Great video, and thank you. Not to be an internet mechanic, but I would much rather use a thread cleanup tool over a tap. A tap will attempt to cut the threads, where as a clean up tool will just move the threads back into their correct position.

[@Fifthcell]

The replacement motor mount that was installed seems to be for the coupes. Do you sell any for the sedans? The mounts for the sedan has pointed edges where the two bracket/brace bolts mount, as opposed to the curved edge for the coupes

[@mikea5205]

From my understanding, it doesn't matter the coupes or sedans. Only difference is, the top torque mount is different from auto to manual trans. Automatic cars is the dark color mount, manual is light colored mount.

[@Esledinho]

Thank you so much for that video! I was thinking to change myself the motor mount but I think it's not a good idea because I don't have all the tool and tork adjust!

[@machineman6498]

Thank you for making this. The torque settings were not easy to find.

[@justinyelverton]

Wish you were in Mississippi , my girlfriends 2007 needs all new mounts . I’d just send it to you for your tutorial videos 😂

[@awayfromk]

I have NO idea why mine was extremely difficult to replace the mount. The aluminum bracket, after loosening the bolts to be able to move it around would NOT center with the holes in the mount and I basically had to force them into the holes to align everything. Then, putting the top bracket on that goes on the mount itself was also extremely difficult, I had to constantly lift and lower the engine to get the holes to line up there and even then I feel like I had to force the bolts into the holes, worried I cross threaded them. You guys made it look so easy lol but very informative and helpful video regardless, just sucks my experience doing it was horrible.

[@1AAuto]

+awayfromk Thanks for the feedback!

[@fp2231]

thinking outside the box, was your car on a very level surface?

[@blackrifle6736]

*A gentle suggestion: To ensure correct and repeatable torque spec and corresponding bolt stretch, before you assemble and particularly when you thread steel into aluminum, apply thin coating of appropriate fastener assembly lubricant (anti-seize) on male threads, under bolt heads, into blind-hole female threads and under nut faces. Use foam-tipped swabs to avoid "Q-tip-fuzz" contamination. Cheers!*

[@TheRogerKyle]

You should offer a kit that has everything, mount, torque arm, bolts etc

[@johnhoog8279]

[@alanw5812]

Because the nut shouldn't remove with the stud ,the save way to do is remove the rear bolt before the front nut,the even the stud come out with the nut will won't damage. Thanks the video to tell me problems for I do this weekend :)

[@biggwess56]

these videos are always so helpful thank you

[@alanw5812]

a lot of people complain aftermarket have problems, I tried it very noise at idle but it wasn't do that, so I replace back to OEM.

[@nightmusic1one27]

Fyi, the washer fluid reservoir is two pieces, I was able to pivot the fill tube to allow easier access to the bolt on the fender

[@whiskkers9291]

How do you determine if you have a bad motor mount vs a bad torque mount (dog bone thing)? I have low rpm vibration at idle but cant see anything obvious shaking under the hood. Thanks!

[@alanw5812]

my one auto, engine mount start noise when put in reverse, torque noise should feel free play between gear change.

[@alanw5812]

and when I put repco part in, even the idle noise so I replace back to OEM one.

[@djsusan00]

would this be the cause of the car shaking in park, and reverse?

[@dennissytsma3561]

I need to do this job myself so the video is helpful to me. You said tap is 14 mm by 1.5? I have air and air impact for 1/2 inch drive but lack the big breaker bar that you used. I assume the air impact will do the job okay? In my research for this generation of Honda Civics I note that many people complain about rough idle and pay for fuel injection services and new spark plugs services (myself included) only to find that the engine mounts need replacement as well. I assume no harm in having the fuel injection and spark plug services done but I suspect most often it is the engine mounts that need replacements. I would love to see more details about how the mounts fail because in this video the old mounts and the new mounts I did not see any way to see the failures. Please advise.

thaik56 when you remove the old engine mount the engine move away from that position. You support it on a jack to minimize how far away you move it from the mount point. However, it’s very hard to jack it up in the exact spot even with the oem part
