Rear Engine Mount Replacement
Factory Rear Engine Mount Replacement
October 2005
The following images document the replacement of a rear engine mount on a 2000 Jeep Wrangler 6-Cylinder Automatic.
We chose to replace the mount because one of the mounting bolts was broken.
STEP 1
We started by removing the 4 engine mount nuts from the bottom of the transfer case skid plate.
STEP 2
The transfer case skid plate holds up the rear of the engine/transmission/transfer case. So, before removing the transfer case skid plate, we positioned a jack stand (on right) below the transmission. This jack stand held the weight when we removed the transfer case skid plate.
A floor jack (on left) was positioned below the transfer case skid plate. It was jacked up firmly against the skid.
STEP 3
The 6 transfer case mounting bolts (3 on each side) were removed. These bolts attach the transfer case skid plate to the frame. The nuts are welded into the frame.
STEP 4
The transfer case skid plate was lowered using the floor jack. The transfer case/transmission/engine was held up by the jack stand (on left).
STEP 5

STEP 6
A view of the sheared bolt on the engine mount. The engine mount was removed by unbolting the 4 nuts (2 on each side) shown.
STEP 7
The engine mount removed.
STEP 8
Old and new engine mounts.
STEP 9
The new engine mount bolted in place.
STEP 10
The transfer case skid plate was positioned to be raised back up against the engine mount and frame.
STEP 11
The transfer case skid plate was raised into position. The transfer case skid plate mounting bolts were reattached.
STEP 12
Finally, the nuts were installed onto the engine mount bolts.
Finished.
