I will do this most likely this Saturday, waiting on the parts. I think last weeks bad weather killed delivery by last Friday. I picked up new motor mount to chassis bolts at the dealer last week (Tom at buymbparts could not get them but was kind enough to supply the part number). I have found a decent 12 point 1-1/16 inch crowfoot-flair-nut that seems to fit the oil lines well enough to accomplish my task it is well made, decent finish and polish by Armstrong tool (USA). I paid about 20 bucks for it. If it works OK I will report on it.
I plan to unbolt the long bolts that fasten the engine-mounting carrier 'arm' casting to the motor mount on both sides of the car before I jack up the engine a little. At this point I believe that I will need to remove the motor mount on the driver's (left) side. I replaced the motor mounts and transmission mount recently (after I replaced the injectors and it still vibrated.. bummer, live and learn). So I don't believe I will need new ones. I will drain all the oil and replace the filter however I have never drained the oil cooler before, does it hold much? (when I et it all back together anything weird about refilling it after draining the cooler? And the new bolts that I got that attach the motor mount the chassis use a 5MM allen, do I still use the old torque spec ?? 30 NM ???
