Lexus 12313-0A070 Bracket, Engine Mounting Control(For Transverse Engine)

First, remove the access plugs at the subframe, then remove the nuts from the lower engine mount.

Check for relative movement between the mount plates and the engine or frame by using a large screwdriver or pry bar to attempt to move the mounts. If movement is noted, lower the engine and tighten the mount fasteners.

To remove an engine mount, remove the fasteners, raise the engine, and detach the mount. The engine can be raised with an engine hoist or with a floor jack and wood block placed under the oil pan. Note that even if only one mount is being replaced, the mount-to-engine bracket nut from the other mount should be removed to allow the engine to be raised far enough for mount removal.

Installation is the reverse of the removal. Use thread-locking compound on the bolts and ensure they are tightened securely.

Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Then, position a jack under the engine oil pan, placing a large wood block between the jack head and the oil pan. Carefully raise the engine just enough to take the weight off the mounts, ensuring not to position the wood block under the drain plug.

The location of the rear engine/driveaxle mount through-bolt can be found in the vehicle's service manual or repair guide.
