Motor Mount Replacement Honda Accord Acura TL V6

In this video I replace worn front and passenger side engine mounts / motor mounts in a 2006 Acura TL. This video also applies to the Honda Accord and most Honda and Acura’s with the V6 Engine.
Here is a link to a video I did on how to inspect your Honda & Acura V6 engine mounts... • Engine Mount Inspectio...
Thanks for watching!

Hard to find videos on the V6s. The procedure is very nicely broken down. You are a real pro. I would not attempt this one, but now I know to keep these mounts maintained.

[@chrispappas6131]

Awesome video!!! Thanks for the detail. I'll be replacing these on my 2006 Honda Accord V6 this week. I just passed 300,000 miles (original owner) and look forward to doing much of my own service with the help of your videos. Keep up the great work and thanks for helping.

300,000 I'm not surprised this engine made it on Ward's 10 Best Engines consecutively two years in a row does it have original transmission?

[@chrispappas6131]

Brother that was awesome, you make it look easy but I know it's not. Thank you

[@ah3486]

Surprised how detailed the video was, 🙌

[@rixautomotive910]

Glad you liked it!

[@AsianBlackR3501]

Thank you. It costs me $1089 from my local shop to replace those 2 engine mounts on my 07 Acura RL. Lablor cost was $400.00

[@voteandvote8593]

You overpaid

[@AsianBlackR3501]

@@voteandvote8593 . Thanks, That is what I thought.

[@jonathanbarros9948]

i bought a set of mounts for i believe 160$ so i think you def overpaid

[@TheJoser71]

160 for a set? Are they oem. If aftermarket, did you have any vibrations like many people are experiencing with aftermarket parts

[@AsianBlackR3501]

@@TheJoser71 they are OEM and no vibration after replacement.

Good job!

8:14 rix be liftin'

[@regiallen462]

Can you please add the links for the OEM mounts (passenger, front, and rear) or a kit? Thanks! Video is very helpful.

[@Charkatak]

First of all - great video! Do you know if lets say the vacuum line isn't attached to front/rear engine mount, will a driver be able to tell or there would be a light on the instrument cluster?

[@arthurfricchione8119]

New subscriber. Great video and thanks for sharing. 👍 Artie

[@bronniesboy]

Can you just remove the bracket to just do a visual inspection on the top mount? Thx

[@ericks141]

What do the 14mm bolts bolt into on that passenger side mount..those are stripped on my car

[@gato7035]

I have a question to replace to the mount the one near the power steering Reservor do I have the use a jack in order to put the new one in

[@msthornmac]

No, that is the easiest and most effective one to replace. Only did that one so far, and it fixed my problem. The engine was lifting up like 6 inches when I revved it, and it hopped when shifting gears...thought my tranny was slipping, but now it runs beautifully and no more scraping sound! Thanks Rix!

[@user-qn5fe6ym4x]

I have 04 inspire which basically an accord but mine have electric power steering

[@cuongdu2621]

Thank you a lot your video easy

[@anavillagomez0066]

Should both be replaced at the time? Im getting my passenger side mount replaced just wondering if I should get both replaced??

[@09CBP6MT]

Yes.

[@chrispappas6131]

It appears that by the time the passenger side mount goes bad, the front mount has already gone bad. RIX Automotive shows how to tell if the front mount has gone bad in one of his other video. Very helpful video.

[@LCRiverside]

what is the price to replace those 2 mounts, I need mine done

[@SBS_Auto]

Where does the vacuum line for the front motor mount route on the other end? Putting engine back in and cant find where the 2 vaccuum lines run to.

[@ONeal397]

On the 3.5 VCM engine the front mount is harder than the rear

[@3LionsCoaching]

Great video, cheers

[@rixautomotive910]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@hgfdksk17]

Have you ever used innovative mounts ?

[@chriscintron9273]

Do I have to jack the engine to take just the right passenger motor mount off?

[@rixautomotive910]

Technically no however supporting the engine will minimize the stress on the other engine mounts. Once passenger mount is loosened/removed the engine will shift slightly.

[@alnuaemeaburawa7630]

Good job, but it's very brief, besides, these mounts in video don't fit all types of honda v6 (Acura pilot odessy)! as it depends on generation, year and model.

[@davecam4863]

I miss working on a honda after having Subaru for the last 8 years LOL

[@MagicHandDrawingandElse]

Great video, are those mounts same for the accord 2002 v6 as well? Any link that can help me to get the genuine but online not dealer, they are to expensive. Thank you and also thanks for the video.

[@youngdex7]

how can you tell the difference between the front and rear i have both but neither have a label

[@weizhang5180]

Great video. Thanks. Any suggestion on how to get the two 17mm bolts loose? I tried breaker bar, wd40, 250ft-lb 1/2 impact wrench. None of these worked. I’m out of ideas. Help please.

[@banstaman]

Really soak those in penetrating oil for at least a day; then use your half inch-drive breaker bar. If it's your first time removing them, I'd suggest you get new bolts and re-thread the hole. Removed mine for the timing belt and they were rotten.

[@ephillips5046]

Should have torque specs. Most professional mechanics do by feel. Backyarders need to have torque specs. Wondering why not in video.

[@ArunSharma-xx3zx]

I have honda accord 2008 and my front mount are cracked soo tel me one thing should I replace them with 2006 accord ?

[@dehiyasitero1938]

How did you know which engine mount was bad?

[@brandoncostner7437]

3:38 is this still impossible without an impact? Cannot get these bolts out

[@brandoncostner7437]

I had to use like 6 extensions, a breaker bar, and a whole can of pb blaster

[@victormoreira7213]

Where can I get genuine parts for my 2009 accord online?dont want aftermarket

[@johnt890]

I don’t have a vehicle lift. Can this be done with a floor jack Or would that torque the engine as you lower it?

[@bosunchair13]

Floor jack works. I didn’t loosen the bracket for the front mount either. You can pull it up by the radiator hoses.

[@wbdill]

Awesome video. What is a reasonable labor cost to change those 2 mounts?

[@rixautomotive910]

Thanks for watching! All labor rates are provided by resources such as OEM’s, AllData, Mitchell etc. and all are pretty consistent. Variable will be the shop labor rates.

[@tenegaither909]

What if the bolts breaks off inside ?

[@rixautomotive910]

tene gaither which bolt specifically broke?
