Engine Mount Strut Bracket Replacement Right Lower

1. Remove the lower engine mount strut bracket bolts.
2. Remove the lower engine mount bracket nut.
3. Remove the lower engine mount bracket.

1. Install the lower engine mount bracket to the exhaust manifold stud and the upper engine mount strut bracket.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the lower engine mount strut bracket nut and bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the lower engine mount bracket nut and bolt to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).

Tighten
Tighten the lower engine mount bracket bolts to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).
