Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you replacement of the front lower engine mount. This is a 2003 Honda Civic with the 1.7-liter VTEC motor as well as an automatic transmission. Pretty much the same for any Civic with the 1.7-liter and an automatic transmission. Items you'll need include a new lower engine mount from 1AAuto.com, 17mm socket with a ratchet and extension, jack and jack stands, torque wrench, penetrating oil.
Remove the 17mm bolt from the top of the motor mount. We're using a lift and bottle jack. You can also have your vehicle on jack stands and use a floor jack to support the engine during the repair.
Remove the front motor mount bolt with a 17mm socket. Remove the 17mm bolt at the bottom of the motor mount. You can remove the motor mount from the top of the vehicle, but since we're underneath, we're going to lift up out of the mount, bring it to the side, remove it from the car.
Here we have our old part from the vehicle and our new part from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, we have the same mounting locations both for engine into the frame. Our old motor mount is torn. Years of engine vibration, starting and stopping, can cause this type of failure. You can see our new part, nice and firm. It's going to bolt right in, direct fit.
Now we're going to put our motor mount back in, attach the bottom bolt, just finger tight until we've lined up the bolt through the rubber mount. Hold the rear nut in place while you wind up the front motor mount bolt. With the motor mount bolt in place, we can finish attaching our mount to the engine. Finish tightening the front motor mount bolt and torque to 47 foot-pounds. Install the top motor mount bolt. Torque the motor mount bolts to 47 foot-pounds. Lower the jack.
Thanks for tuning in. We hope this video helped you out. Next time you need parts for your car, please visit 1AAuto.com. Also check out our other helpful how-to and diagnosis videos.
