Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Does anyone know how to replace engine mounts on an hilux LN106. I would look in my user manual however i have justed moved and i cant find it and need to fix it. Can someone please give me some tips

undo old bolts on old engine mounts, put jack up car from the sump (place a block of wood in between sump and jack), take old mounts off, place new mounts in, lower jack, do up bolts.

although, some people run into problems like the motor not coming back down in line with the mounts, so a trick i have done in the past is to let the jack down and take it right out of the way, put handbrake on, start car and in 1st gear give it a few "pig roots" and hopefully it will fall into place.

...and not out of place..

Hopefully not out through the bonnet with the gearbox attached,
Prybar works alittle better
i Have also done one at a time

I was always told that you dont lift anything from under the sump because of the chance of crushing the sump. Thanks for the tips guys

hence the block of timber

Timber should protect as stated but theres allways a risk that it could fall off and the jack go through the sump how ever small that is, Block and tackle or engine crane is the other way

I'll second not buying aftermarket mounts. I had one damage the alternator cause of the shape of it.

Geepers were are you guys buying your parts from the wreckers/supercheap/repco
