sorry to be off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
You're not supposed to remove that entire stud from the engine, just the nut. That's why the threads got jacked up. The engine was not lifted enough and the weight pulled it down damaging the threads.
OMG! Went to a mechanic and my 2007 Honda had a bad engine mount. Cost? $550.00. I said WTF? I looked A-1 Auto and saw your video ordered the parts from A-1 Auto and decided to attempt to do it myself. In 1-1/2 hours I was done! Followed every step by step and it sucks because now I can hear my wife talking when I drive! Anyway, great video, thorough and to the point!!! Thanks A-1. You saved me a lot of money!!!!
Thanks for watching our video! +Lou
You're funny, bro! But; I know what you mean. lol
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
L m f a o!
How did their engine mount after a year? Still great? I'm debating if I should get oem or aftermarket
Thanks! I replaced my transmission mount, motor mount, and lower torque strut yesterday. I had the laptop next to car, watch a step, pause video, do a step, repeat until done. It went perfect. The video even tells the correct torque. Excellent job!
+Gene G Thanks for checking us out!
Hi , just curious why you replaced all your motor mounts? Was your car interior vibrating while at idle in drive or reverse? Thats what mine is doing but not sure what the problem is. My engine rpms is very steady while in drive or reverse at idle. Would replacing engine mounts help?
@@davejohnson6144 probably. It was a very common problem with 8th gen civics. (Do a quick Google search.) My 2008 sedan is vibrating at low RPM’s and when cold, so I’m replacing the two front engine mounts first (visible damage to the rubber) and then seeing how it runs before I change out anything else.
Replaced the passenger side mount and torque strut. Put enough lift on the engine, he messed up the threads because the engine wasn't lifted enough, just watch for engine movement when removing the bolt and nut. Remove the AC line bracket if you can or you will unnecessarily stress the AC line. Also remove the bolt that attaches the top mount bracket to the side of the engine bay it will give you the room to remove the mount. His nut was corroded in place, mine came right off. The top portion of my mount had separated causing bad vibration when backing up, and when maintaining speed or slowing down. Couldn't be seen until removal. Engine feels as smooth as silk now, do what I did - buy the whole set from them and replace both mounts and torque rods. Average time to replace each area 2 hours, glad I don't have his corrosion problems.
Has it held up good? Or should I go OEM
@@DJJayVybezakaJavier go OME, mine lasted a bit more than a year, now need to replace again
Thankyou. I just completed this repair on my car. Saved me some cash. One thing I did that helped me was removing the wiper fluid tube. It is just a little clip and then pull it out. Made a little more room to work in.
Thanks for the video! I changed the mount on a 2008 civic with only 46K miles. I didn’t think it needed it as it look great. However, after 13 years it still needed changed. Thanks again as it was super easy
Tip for anyone doing this. I did this exactly a year ago. 1 year later the mount went bad again with excessive vibrations. 1A Auto offers lifetime warranty on these mounts so they replaced it. This time around I went ahead and did the transmission mount along with the engine mount. I suggest you do this because if the tranny mount is bad also this could end up ruining the engine mount. They are installed parallel. The small torque link in the bottom was also replaced.
Excellent instruction down to telling you numerous socket sizes and deep well.
THIS GUY IS A MASTER TEACHER!😅
Great video! Got all the recommended tools on hand and followed step by step with no problems. Car is running smooth and I’m feeling good since I did it myself and saved quite a few bucks.
Thank you so much for the product and information. I bought the kit for manual transmissions. I replaced all of them and the cabin plastic rattling stopped. I am grateful for the video as well. You guys are the MVPs
How are the mounts doing so far
Thank you so much for that video! I was thinking to change myself the motor mount but I think it's not a good idea because I don't have all the tool and tork adjust!
There seems to be a problem with the part I ordered from you guys, now I can hear everything else wrong with my car!
But really though, as a broke college student: selling the part for $60 and making a good video about it? You guys are doing the lord’s work.
+Zachary Krawczyk Thank you for your order! We're glad we could help you fix your vehicle and save you money. We'd love to hear about your experience. Here's a link to leave us a review on Google: goo.gl/i5JFNY
Lmfaooooo I felt that in my soul. What part did you get? Do you recall?
It's the attention to detail that separates the Masters from the shade tree mechanics such as chasing the threads, using the white grease and always torquing everything to factory specs. As the military says "sign your work". Great job!
he says it in the video himself that its a solid rubber mount. its not supposed to be. its a "hydraulic mount" its filled with water to dampen the vibrations. if you put this cheap mount in your civic, its still going to vibrate. theres a reason the real honda part costs like 200 dollars. the installation video was great, the part they sell on their website? heeeellll no
The replacement motor mount that was installed seems to be for the coupes. Do you sell any for the sedans? The mounts for the sedan has pointed edges where the two bracket/brace bolts mount, as opposed to the curved edge for the coupes
From my understanding, it doesn't matter the coupes or sedans. Only difference is, the top torque mount is different from auto to manual trans. Automatic cars is the dark color mount, manual is light colored mount.
Really need to do this on my civic, I'm glad there's videos to guide me.
You should offer a kit that has everything, mount, torque arm, bolts etc
Yeah, they keep on talking about using new bolts. Would have bought them if they were offered.
Yes...offer the entire kit
Yea they have it, just ordered one.
@@skunkycatog what is the kit listed as? Gonna compare their prices with Rock Auto prices.
73$ you can get all the mounts.
Seriously 10 on the scale of thoroughness! Great job 👌 and THANK YOU ! Will order parts for my new to me civic from you guys ! Thanks again
Great video, and thank you. Not to be an internet mechanic, but I would much rather use a thread cleanup tool over a tap. A tap will attempt to cut the threads, where as a clean up tool will just move the threads back into their correct position.
Wish you were in Mississippi , my girlfriends 2007 needs all new mounts . I’d just send it to you for your tutorial videos 😂
I have NO idea why mine was extremely difficult to replace the mount. The aluminum bracket, after loosening the bolts to be able to move it around would NOT center with the holes in the mount and I basically had to force them into the holes to align everything. Then, putting the top bracket on that goes on the mount itself was also extremely difficult, I had to constantly lift and lower the engine to get the holes to line up there and even then I feel like I had to force the bolts into the holes, worried I cross threaded them. You guys made it look so easy lol but very informative and helpful video regardless, just sucks my experience doing it was horrible.
+awayfromk Thanks for the feedback!
thinking outside the box, was your car on a very level surface?
I just replaced all the mounts with this brand and sorry to say money to drain. No reduction in vibrations at all. Should have bought the oem.
Thank you for making this. The torque settings were not easy to find.
At 4:00, you show the captured bolt. Is this always captured or was the nut just rusted to the bolt? I’ve seen other videos where the nut comes off.
no, it's definitely captured
it has a little room to move around, it's best to have the car on level ground when doing this job, if you are on a sloped driveway the engine will tilt back and make this job really hard
This is a bit older but in case others are curious later.
The nut does come off. He meant captured as the bolt can't be removed from the top as it gets stopped, even with the nut off. If you pull from below, without the nut there, it can be removed.
The reason he kept the that piece on during all of it was because of the amount of rust the portion above the nut had.
+Shadiest One Thanks for the tip!
these videos are always so helpful thank you
Do you advise against using an impact to remove the bolts for any reason?
I need to do this job myself so the video is helpful to me. You said tap is 14 mm by 1.5? I have air and air impact for 1/2 inch drive but lack the big breaker bar that you used. I assume the air impact will do the job okay? In my research for this generation of Honda Civics I note that many people complain about rough idle and pay for fuel injection services and new spark plugs services (myself included) only to find that the engine mounts need replacement as well. I assume no harm in having the fuel injection and spark plug services done but I suspect most often it is the engine mounts that need replacements. I would love to see more details about how the mounts fail because in this video the old mounts and the new mounts I did not see any way to see the failures. Please advise.
Because the nut shouldn't remove with the stud ,the save way to do is remove the rear bolt before the front nut,the even the stud come out with the nut will won't damage.
Thanks the video to tell me problems for I do this weekend :)
a lot of people complain aftermarket have problems, I tried it very noise at idle but it wasn't do that, so I replace back to OEM.
would this be the cause of the car shaking in park, and reverse?
+DJSUSAN00 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
You're not supposed to remove that entire stud from the engine, just the nut. That's why the threads got jacked up. The engine was not lifted enough and the weight pulled it down damaging the threads.
Thank you for this. Currently doing the removal and install of these parts, and that stud would not rotate, so thought I did something wrong. Lifted the engine a little more and the bracket came right off. Thank you!
How do you determine if you have a bad motor mount vs a bad torque mount (dog bone thing)? I have low rpm vibration at idle but cant see anything obvious shaking under the hood. Thanks!
my one auto, engine mount start noise when put in reverse, torque noise should feel free play between gear change.
and when I put repco part in, even the idle noise so I replace back to OEM one.
Hello, it would be _so_ useful if you could label parts of the video so we know what section to look at or go back to
Is there a front engine mount or is it just this one and transmission mount for the topside?
*A gentle suggestion: To ensure correct and repeatable torque spec and corresponding bolt stretch, before you assemble and particularly when you thread steel into aluminum, apply thin coating of appropriate fastener assembly lubricant (anti-seize) on male threads, under bolt heads, into blind-hole female threads and under nut faces. Use foam-tipped swabs to avoid "Q-tip-fuzz" contamination. Cheers!*
Is it a big deal if I forgot to put the weight on the upper torque arm?
I purchased the mount and installed it perfectly however the weight of the engine seems to pull too far on the top part of the mount causing the metal to touch the rubber body. How can I fix this?
Great video and replacement parts from 1A Auto. Solved the issue on my 06 civic. Thanks!
Issue? Clinking, clunking? Details please. Thanks
tried to replace mine but when I tried to remove the bolt in the uppermont is just keeps in rotating. I’m still looking for a work around how to remove the bolt.
Same mine just spins. Did you figure it out ?
what do you do if the bolt closes to the cab is halfway out and now just spins in place? feels like when you put your hand underneath something is spinning with it
Top torque mount is adjustable. Mark it before you take the bolt out. .but if not you can eventually find where it goes.
Great video! Can you use the after market part for this motor mount? Thanks for your help.
Followed your instructions and the repair was fairly easy. Thanks for the video.
+Derek Ford Thanks for checking us out. We're glad we were able to help!

Can a 14 1.25 tap be used?
How strong is the rubber on the mount ?
What happens if it gets teared
Thanks so very much for the information and the parts for my car
Thank you guys is very helpful your videos 👍
Will this fit my 2009 8th gen. honda civic i coupe?
Do they sell just the motor mount bolt by itself like the one that’s captured in the mount because it’s rusted?
+Nicholas Monroy Thanks for checking us out! We would not carry that particular bolt however a local auto store may be able to get that for you.
Does the si use the same mounts?
I put a cheater on my breaker and the bolt (passenger side, closest to firewall, engine mount) isn't moving. I am concerned the bolt might snap or shear. any suggestions?
Where can I get the bolts brand new
What are the bolts shown in this video?
+Brian Lee The bolts range between 10mm and 19mm
Wow! EXCELLENT! Video, bro. You da man! Thank you SO! much.Keep up the great work and a great day to you.
Tom Torres Thanks for watching!
It is very helpful video, thanks 👍
I Love 1 A AUTO!!! I just purchased the complete front suspension for my girlfriend's 2004 Nissan maxima SL!!! wowwww I am Impressed everything fit like a glove the car handle's like it just came off the lot!!! thank you 1 A auto! you saved me more than half price compared to the parts store!!!!! I will be purchasing my timing belt kit along with the water pump! and the video's are a good reference to help out.

What are the measurements on the tap?
There is a big vibration coming from my engine is this most likely the problem?
very thorough, thank you.
Very helpful video, thanks!
My engine shakes when my car is in neutral or idle, what could be the problem?
I have same problem gets worse in the cold in reverse aswell
what was wrong with that engine mount you took out? looked ok??
+Wayne M. We are just showing you how to remove it.
How do you know if that original engine mount was no good?
Shouldn't it be a direct fit if the new part is exactly the same without the wiggling and aligning the bolt holes?
thaik56 when you remove the old engine mount the engine move away from that position. You support it on a jack to minimize how far away you move it from the mount point. However, it’s very hard to jack it up in the exact spot even with the oem part
hello master, so how many mounts do this car has we talking about here? thanks
4
I have a Honda Civic 06 and the bracket screw broke. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the screws please?
Do you sell the thread restorer
Don’t do what I did and snap the frame rail bolt. Make sure if it’s not moving to spray rust penetrating fluid and let it sit, go back and forth slowly with the breaker bar and don’t force it.
I really hate how Honda engineered this car. One of the hardest cars to work on.
You don't need to replace the engine mount bolts! They are perfectly fine to be reused
Very helpful
I have a hybid it has no torque arm...Should it?
Hello Fellas. How much torque in the screws/nuts? Best regards
+Alexandre C DORNELES Thanks for watching! At the 12:35 mark in the video we start to mention each torque value as it is put back together!
Pretty sure the stud isnt supposed to come out when you take the triangular bracket out.
It's not that's why he re uses the bracket
Hey any chance you know if I can purchase the part that you loosened at 10:17 in 1 A auto parts?
The "aluminum brace"
+ES We currently do not carry that particular bracket. You might be able to find on on Ebay or possibly your local salvage yard. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com
Would these motor mounts work on my 2008 5 speed manual civic?
+Christopher Valle Yes the mount shown in this video should work for your model!
@@1AAuto its a coupe as well? would it still work?
+Christopher Valle This is listed to fit all 2006-2011 Honda Civic L4 1.8L models
Would these torque specs be accurate for a 2006 honda civic hybrid?
+Kevin Luna Thaks for checking us out! Yes, the Hybrid should have the same torque specifications. Please let us know if you have any further questions, thank you.
1A Auto Parts would it matter if they’re old bolts or new ones?
+Kevin Luna Whether you use the original bolts or new bolts the torque specifications would not change. Thank you!
You see you say metric sizes but all of mine metric is to big, SAE are all snug fitting. the car was bought brand new and I am the only owner and no work has been to the car.
How do you know if this part is bad? I wish you showed it making noise
Check for cracks. Usually you’ll feel the vibration when backing up or in low speeds
Nice. Thanks
Has anyone used this brand of engine mounts? Are they durable?
I'm also debating on that bro
I just ordered the part and installed to my civic. I’ll let you know if they’re any problems
Can I get a discount code ?
+@sistercalhoun4444 We do not offer any discount or coupon codes.
change this one first it is so ridiculously easy. if you’re still having vibrations you’re probably gonna need them all changed
Is there a specific size for the torque wrench needed for all the engine mounts?
+Ezio Fujiwara If you have a 3/8 or 1/2 torque wrench, either one will be fine. 1aauto.com
I wish y’all could work on my car for me lmao
+Cam Cordell Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
I would hate to live somewere were its high in humidity. Look at the color of this engine hahahaha we are spoiled in california are engines shine like new beautiful aluminum
+Raider Richard Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Will this stop the vibration inside the car?
+Brian Moreno Thanks for watching! Engine mounts dampen engine vibrations, so if the vibration is coming from the engine then this could be the fix. There are multiple mounts, so you will have to figure out which ones need replacing. 1aauto.com
@@1AAuto would this fix something that sounds like aluminum cans and bolts clanking around on the passenger side?
2:59
12:44 So you just skip this part for this particular bolt? Show us how you properly torqued it.
Nothing like a super corroded car to work on.
Can you make your videos without the annoying background music? Thanks in advance!
+Shoeb Mohammed Thanks for the feedback! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
That bolt on the Mount just won’t stop fighting me even though the pin is aligned with the hole already 😑
this engine is only up to 2008
If rust is an issue in your area, use anti seize on all bolts. Heck...use it even if rust isn't an issue.
Never use it on anything that gets torqued
@@TheRogerKyle it can slightly make the bolt over torqued but realistically there will be no issues. And theres nothing worse than a bolt that's seized in a bushing so I'd much rather use anti seize and never have that happen
@@georgeparker555no, completely throws off the torque specs, enough bolts can be snapped before torque is met. 30 years experience talking, not opinion
@@TheRogerKyle lmao okay brother
Don't ever install this mount on your car. I wasted my time with this and it caused crazy vibration. It was like a diesel truck after. I removed it and installed an OEM part from autozone and it was just fine. Don't make the mistake I did and think you can save some money with these crap aftermarket parts.
Go buy the parts from rock auto. Honestly stupid to by them from anywhere else
Pass
A1 product suck as* I bought a motor mount (a car I hardly drive only to work) last me not even the year go oem better !!!! Trust me
