Motor mounts / engine mounts
Where can I get a passenger side motor mount?
I ordered all three mounts from Rock Auto and only the driver's side mount was correct. Part numbers DEA A2426, A7014 and A2428.
I did get a good looking tranny mount from NAPA.
When I raised the engine to replace the mounts the passenger side mount looked in good condition, better than the other two. It was about 10mm thicker than the "new" DEA mount and it was tapered a little (maybe just from use).
My usual online suppliers don't even list the passenger side mount.
Is there an "easy" way to get this mount off? The driver's side mount was easy because I could just take the main mount off the block. It's difficult, if not impossible to get the mount off the block on the passenger side because the turbo's in the way.
