I then removed the nut at the end of the mount there is also a washer behind this nut so be careful not to lose this if u havent bought a new one!

with the nut removed:
After this i then removed the two bolts holding up the mount onto the chassis which a re here:
with the mount now removed i pulled down (lightly) and the whole arm which the bush sits on cam down towards the floor abit aiding the removal of the old mount just sliding off the bracket i like this method as sropped me having to take off the whole mount and third giant bolt!!! :lol:
shown here:
here is the mount removed with a little pressure on the mount u can CLEARLY see the amount of wear on it!!
old vs new!
the new mount and all new bolts,washer and end nut.(the two long nuts are from the main bracket remeber the third is still in the block!)
I slid the new mount onto the bracket end pushed the bracket back up i replaced the two long bolts back into the mounting bracket onto the engine hand screwing these in just to get location i then got the two new bolts(small ones) and bolted them up to get the mount in position, then slid the new washer on to the end (this has a flat piece so can on go on one way) then put the new nut on the end and tightened it up,I then went back and finished tightening up the large bolts.I dropped down the weight carrier for the box and engine(the big axle stand thingy!!!) checked everything and all seemed fine.
new mount and bolts, nuts in place:
I then replaced the plastic holding screws for the plastic under bumper guarding and lowered her down.
job done!!! hope i havent missed anything here if anyone needs any advice on doing this dont hesitate to ask.
so on the road, i have noticed my gear change to be alot smoother and power delivery to feel stronger if this makes any sense!! when vtec comes in feels like it pulls better may just be me wishing!!
next up interior cleaning!!!
