Replacing rear engine mounts Alpha 1

[Roman S]

350 motor, Alpha 1 outdrive. What is the procedure to replace the rear engine mounts? How do you get the old mounts out of the bell Housing and replace with new? Thanks Roman

The engine is out, the bell housing off. Is there a way to press these out in my garage. Thanks again Roman

Ayuh,... I guess that depends on how equiped your garage is.....

A couple right sized sockets, 'n a length of readi-rod could work...
I think BD once posted pictures of a screw-press he built to do it in the field...
I'm sure it can be done on a well equiped hyd. press....

I put mine in with a heavy duty u-jount press while it was hanging still hanging on an engine hoist.

Thats a good idea. I used a press at work for mine, but that would have totally worked. I have one of those in my garage and didn't even think about that. I will remember that for next time...
