WORKING ON AN 88 XJ LIMITED 4.0 4DR 4WD
MM=motor mount TM=trans mount
My mounts are bad, very bad. like dropped from the top of the triangle on the MM 1-1/2". not sure on trans mount, but imagine the same.
As the title says, started off by putting a jack W\ wood, under the front of the oil pan, took out the nut and bolt out of both MM, than loosened the crossbolt, still really tight, tried to lift the Motor, but the slightest movement would lift up the jeep as well, than i remembered the TM, took OFF the crossmember.
Motor will still not move. put a pry bar under the driver side mount and i can barely move the engine around, lift the mount a 1/4 inch, like that.
but it will not budge, even under the trans will a bottle jack at the same time, and it just will lift the jeep, like the trans\motor are resting against the jeep. they will not lift at all.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
