replacing a front engine mount on a 40 (1 Viewer)

[Bwana Makuba]

I need to replace a front engine mount on my BJ 40 as the rubber has split. My question is can I loosen the front and rear mount bolts and lift the engine enough to replace the front mount without taking the whole engine out? If so what is best way of doing it. Thanks.

I recently did it on my F.5 and basically took all the mounts loose and the jacked up the motor with a block under the oil pan. I don’t have an engine hoist so that’s the best I could do with what I had. It worked out.

Hello - where is the rear engine mount located on your BJ40? I looked under my BJ4# but could not find it.

Under the gearbox, if memory serves me right.

Hey Greek Cruiserhead -　Thanks, I located the rear engine mount.　It was indeed right under the gearbox assembly;
it was easy to see it from under the car.
