Huge thanks to TRQ for this video. I searched and watched a few other videos, this was absolutely the best, the entire series associated with the motor mounts. Took a bit longer than expected, ran into some difficult bolts, but step by step instruction with call outs to bolt sizes was awesome.

Usually the engine is supported by putting a jack under the oil pan. You used a different placement. It almost looks like you're trying to support the transmission. Does that really work for this?

Just replaced all 4 mounts today in my 2010 Nissan Altima. This rear mount created the biggest challenges. In my case, I wonder if the engine had moved. The center bolt would not come out; just spun in place and believe something had shifted and was pinching it. So i decided to try and take the whole bracket out BUT the other bolt on that bracket couldnt be removed because the exhaust was in the way. Putting the new part back in, trying to hold the bracket, having to pry the engine away from mount and holding a light was just more difficult than it should have been. Flat out, the holes did not align on the new part and it was a major pain to force fit it.

Thank you for all your how to videos. You've helped me so much over the years with the many different "verhicals" lol I've worked on. Keep up the amazing work 😎👍

For those who you cannot take out the bracket bolt out due to muffler placement. When you're installing it. Do the center bolt first very slightly. And do the stuff one by the muffler very slightly and then do the top to bottom from body ones slightly. And then finish the center bolts and be done with the tightening and torque. The engine side brackets won't tighten up very well if the bracket are well aligned. Be safe.

You guys have such awesome videos. Thank you so much. Will the lower engine mount allow the engine to roll backwards when torqued? I do not think the side engine mount is broken, but there is considerable rotation of the engine.

Mine is 2011 altima 2.5 s automatic one of the bolts is directly front of exhaust pipe, how you remove that one?

My center bolt and associated bracket was on the opposite side. Head of bolt facing the wheel well.

That mount is the least of your problems look at all that leaking 😅😅😅

Got a clunking sound under hood when car shakes and when purposely rocking side to side, clunk felt with palm on shifter, and engine shakes a bit.. I’m thinking this or another hidden down in the area that might be causing this

"Nice and long" lol "nice and tight" smdh ahahaha

[frazierboyfuzinent]

What kind of issues was the car having that let you know that mount was bad

[MarkShinnick]

I've got a peev about the grime the faster mechanics have overcome, but thanks for this really well made video.

[sunilnegi]

This second bolt is killing me. Cant take it out :(

[olguiq]

LEN, you can use my Altima as ginnie pig any time. I'M SERIOUS. 😊

[chrisxmichael]

What are those two black bracket on the outside of the mount called?

[scottlanier]

Are trq mounts good though? I was looking at the active rear hydraulic mounts for 2006 odyssey but most aftermarket mounts suck

[ICUISMILE]

This is not the same rear engine mount as 2006 and 2007 Altima. Do not say that i didn't warn all of you Mr.BackYard Auto Technician...Lol
