Hi,
I need to change the front and back engine mount insert for my 99 ford contour dual headcam.
Can someone help me the procedure of how doing it.
i understand that i need to jack my engine to the point that i can remove the bolt easily. Should I remove the whole mount assembly
(un-bolted 3 bolts to the engine and 2 nuts under the crossbar member) than work on the insert when the whole unit removed from the car.
Or you have any tip to make it easier.

are you putting poly inserts into the front roll resistor or are you changing the roll resistor all together??

If your just putting in poly inserts, then I dont think the roll resistor needs to be removed. I cant remember for sure. I replaced mine with SVT ones, so I had to remove them anyways. I think the inserts can be put in before or after the roll resistor is installed.

I just jacked up my car and put some jacks on either side and then got the jack and jacked up the engine on the bottom of the oil pan with a piece of wood to distribute the load. Mind you it wasnt much pressure, since the rear roll resistor and top 2 motor mounts were still intact.
