Engine Mount Center Part

![Question](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hello all,
Is it pretty easy to replace the center part of the engine mount? This is the little rubber core that pelican sells for $38. I'd much rather replace that then the $170 mount. I have a vice at home, would I need a special tool?
Thanks!

If you have a socket big enough to push on the metal rim of the insert, it isn't too hard. However, you'll need to make sure your vise opens far enough -- you'll need room for the socket on one side and spacers on the other side (to make room for the insert to come out).
Installation is the reverse of removal, just make sure to align the insert properly and to also press it in straight or it will get stuck.

Harbor Freight press and done. You're still spending less and have the press to use in the future.

I did mine with a vice and a long pipe....I'll never do it again.....if I knew I could have brought it to a shop to get it pressed in I would have. Do yourself a favor and get it pressed in at a shop. V
