Lexus 12315-20040 Bracket, Engine Mounting, RH(For Transverse Engine)

Working below the vehicle, remove the nut securing the mount to the upper and lower brackets. Then, remove the bolts securing the mount to the frame and raise the engine enough to allow removal of the mount.

Installation is the reverse of removal. Use a non-hardening thread locking compound on the mount bolts/nuts and ensure they are tightened securely.

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

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.

Carefully raise the engine until the engine mount studs clear the subframe, then remove the nut from the top of the mount and angle the engine mount from the vehicle. It may be necessary to loosen the other mounts at the subframe to raise the engine for extra clearance.
