Engine Mounts

[skeeter]

When looking my car over at the weekend ahead of its MOT I noticed that one of the engine mount rubbers was looking cracked and generally a little tired. The other side looked fine.

 

Can I change the engine mounts as an amateur mechanic? In my mind I would use a trolley jack under the engine, lift it a little and then jiggle the old mount out and slip the new mount in. (Bear in mind I have never done anything like this before).

 

Or am I being too ambitious?

Nope - as you say - tis a doddle but make sure you use a decent bit of wood on your trolley jack so as not to cause damage

Thanks, will give it a go (with the famous last words of "how hard can it be?")
