Where to place jack for engine mount replacement?

[tired80]

I think the title pretty much says it all. I received my two square and four round engine mounts last week (thanks Kurt & Cruiser Outfitters), and I'd like to tackle the replacement this weekend. I don't have the equipment to lift the engine from above, so where is the best location(s) to place the floor jack?

It's a 1978 FJ40, completely stock.

Any other engine mount install tips are appreciated as well.

Thanks!

Just use a couple pieces of 3/4" plywd. under the oilpan, about 1' X 1' to spread the bearing area of the jacking point. Loosen both mounts but keep one bolt lined up in it's mount & replace one at a time

be careful..... think you will need more than one jack.... I would borrow or see if you can rent a cherry picker...

Hi All:

X2 what "LC_Hamma" says. Similar has worked for me in the past.

Good luck!
