Im trying to fit engine mount inserts

Ive removed all bolts from the front mount and it is moving around easily but i cannot for the life of me get it out!!

Ive spent 2 hours just trying to squeeze and wiggle it out but it seems impossible

Anyone shed any light?

Ive read the guide on how to, but it gives no details of how to remove any of them, just how to unbolt them

Gearbox mount inserts were a breeze. still have the rear to do

You have to drop the subframe to get them out mate ! If you do drop the frame remember to mark it up exactly where it was otherwise you will need to get your geo set up again.

Ah the guide i followed says it wasn't necessary!!

No bother got to fit my baffled sump at end of the month so ill leave it on axle stands as it is till then now

You don't need to drop the subframe entirely, just remove the two front bolts and loosen the 2 rears until it hangs down enough to give you some room to remove the engine mount. You can leave everything else in place, just unbolt the aircon pipe from the subframe at the front if you have aircon.

Im guessing the down pipe needs to be unbolted to get the rear engine mount bolt out

The bolts look non existant so going leave the rear prob wont make much difference anyway stupid design

Front and gearbox is done

Don't need to take down pipe off. Just arb drop links,
