Thank you for your informative video 👍 We are planning to take the old girl cross country to visit family in Texas. Recently replaced the timing belt and a tuneup. Next, the motor mounts. To bad they don’t sell the internal rubber part of the motor mount separately.

This mount was hardest compare to rest of the mounts. It took me 2 hours. I also forgot the heat shield 10 mm bolt, i couldn't yank the mount out just like in the clip. I had the car on the Plastic Rhino Ram and i was on my back the whole time my neck got really tired and strained from constantly trying to look and work at the same time. My old mount was not broken down into little piece, it was intact and very clean. Someone must have changed not too long ago. My side mount(passenger's side ) which i changed yesterday looked exactly like your old one , everything was broken into piece not damping any vibration from the engine at all.

[@TruongLe-eo8kh]

Those aftermarket Ebay engine mount did not fit exactly in term of the 4 bolt holes position again the subframe. I could only finger tighten 3 except 1 which I have to you 14 mm socket and wrench to start it which should not be the way you start tighten a bolt , i could have cross threaded it. I'd recommend OE parts as this job was way too hard to do second time. But for $85 for 5 mounts from Flea bay, I can't refused :) . I bought the mounts last year and watched a lot mounts replacement videos to have the guts to do it. @1141 Those warning: I ran into problem. The engine mount bolt sleeve was little long then the upper engine mount. I installed the 4 14mm base bolts first then I tried to align the transverse bolt through the upper mount and lower mount, they didn't line up correctly. I was using my leg to pump floor jack with a piece of wood to cushion the to jack up the engine and eye balling the mating of the mount as the same time while half of my body was under the carriage. I had to crawl in and out about 20 times , I was so tired at this point near end of installation. While the upper mount was rising up, it pushed the longer-than-normal bolt sleeve up twisting the rubber damper so I used mechanic pry bar and a lot of WD 40 prying them apart so the bolt sleeve would line up with the upper mount hole for the 17mm transverse fit through them. Luckily, the rubber damper twisted back to horizontal position and with a few pumps of floor jack at the tranny with my right leg, they line up perfectly. Without power tools, it was a pain to start and tighten the transverse bolt into place. Took me another 10 minutes tighten it down all the way. Thanks for the video. I wouldn't recommended it if you don't have any impact tools. The car was on the ram the whole process so I was not worried about my safety at all. Thank you.

@@TruongLe-eo8kh You really hung in there and completed the mission! Not an easy task without a car lift.

[@Lodestar1]

Good job Truong Ho. Believe me, I know all about neck problems!!

[@almiribrahimovic5239]

Outstanding video, you did an awesome job. Thank you for the tutorial. Wade Out..

[@chadli07]

thanks and great job sir

[@vwrabbit4life]

My 2002 was a bear had to remove the engine bracket bolts also and drop it down the front of the subframe. Getting the new one in there in position with the bracket flopping around was something let me say especially while laying on my back for hours. Its doable tho. Tight squeeze

[@bobberger918]

Good video 📹 👍

[@anthonythompson5474]

Good job I’m very proud of you

[@walterdeleon4330]

Exelente video saludos

[@jims2507]

Part 1 is great, good explanation! Did you ever upload part 2? Someone referred to it, but I can't find it. Thanks!

[@Lodestar1]

Currently editing part two. I’m late getting it out but it will be out very soon. Thanks!!

[@Lodestar1]

Up and running now!

[@maurovargas3108]

Buen video

[@batvette]

Would have been helpful to state what trim level this was. Lack of sunroof indicates ex or lx. Ex-l and touring have the VCM J35 which has active motor mounts which are more likely to fail and more complicated to replace. Good video anyway for ex and lx owners thanks for sharing.

[@Lodestar1]

This particular model did not have active motor mounts.

[@yasha1928]

Or you know, stop being a wuss & get the service manual out and do it. You act like a few wiring plugs are gonna kill you.

[@MLFranklin]

Nice! I couldn't find the link to Pt2 for the front mount.

[@Lodestar1]

Unfortunately, I have not had much time to work on Pt 2 video. I hope to get it uploaded soon. Thanks for watching!

[@runningbean]

Waiting

[@torenbeales5247]

Would this work for a 2009 Honda Pilot?

[@nilolee2426]

Would this be the same procedure for 2004 odyssey? I heard clunking sounds every time I hit some bumps. All my suspension parts are new or good,thanks

[@Lodestar1]

Pretty much the same operation.

[@amroibrahim4956]

I have the same issue the rear engine mount is something very common with Honda odyssey or any Asian car the only challenge that I found doing this is to jack up the engine to be aligned with the bolt that gets inside the rear engine mount the more I lift it up it doesn’t go anywhere you’re using something very solid here like 4 x 4 post but the vehicle is on the left already which make it easier but if you’re on the ground I don’t know what’s gonna work to be able to lift this engine up a little bit in order to be aligned with the bolt because once it’s aligned it’s an easy job so do you think 4 x 4 post short one should work if the car on jackstands And should you lift it up from the oil pan or under the transmission or from all the way back near the rear engine mount

[@physicalivan]

how many miles had the odyssey? excellent video 👍 thanks

[@Lodestar1]

I think it had 130,000 give or take.

[@javaebranch6490]

Did the weird engine noise go away after changing the mounts ?

[@Lodestar1]

Yes, there was a vibrational noise association with the bad mounts.

[@MTJunior]

Where is the second video for the front mount ?

[@Lodestar1]

Unfortunately, my work has kept me from spending time on editing the 2nd video , but I may have it out in the near future for those who will be taking on this repair.

[@MrHmongrice]

where's part 2?

[@anasoto8075]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻🙏🏼

[@lanceair151]

Thank you!

[@jasonalexander6417]

where did you buy the mounts from?

[@Lodestar1]

They were purchased from one of my local big name part stores.

[@comprayreventadestorageuni8618]

Was this an odyssey i-vtec or vtec?

[@Lodestar1]

Honestly I cannot remember on this one, sorry.

[@batvette]

@@Lodestar1 it matters a lot

[@ugbalaarya5213]

I can imagine how car shaking with a engine mount like that,
