Nissan 11330-8Z400 Engine Mounting Member Assembly, Rear

For replacement, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal of the battery and setting the parking brake. Then, raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the splash shields from under the vehicle. Remove the engine mount-to-frame nuts, two on each side. In the engine compartment, remove the engine mount-to-engine mount bracket nut(s), one on each side. Attach an engine hoist to the top of the engine for lifting, making sure not to use a jack under the oil pan. Raise the engine slightly until the engine mount can be removed. To remove the engine mount brackets, detach the four retaining bolts securing the mount bracket to each side of the engine. Installation is the reverse of removal, applying thread locking compound to the mount nuts before tightening them to the specific torque.

To check the mounts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Support the engine/transmission from above using a hoist or three bar support fixture. Check the mounts for cracked, hardened, or separated rubber. Also, check for relative movement between the mounts and the engine or frame.
