I need help gentleman... 2005 PT Cruiser GT Turbo.
I need to replace the valve stem seals. This requires removing the timing belt and I haven't gotten to that step yet. I am stuck at removing the right engine mount. How in the heck does it come out? I have removed the four bolts that secure it to the fender/unibody crap whatever you call it. ![]() So now what? ![]() ![]() ![]() |

What I did is I put two jacks under the engine (one under the oil pan, the other under the tranny), disconnected the exhaust and transmission mount and lowered the tranny side jack and lifted the oil pan jack until I had the engine tilted enough to get it out. Also I remember I had to turn it a certain way to get that big cast iron thing out

Hey thanks everyone, I really appreciate your quick responses!
I loosened the driver side mount... just a couple of turns and I saw a big change... jacked the passenger side of the motor up a little more. Who am I kidding.. I jacked it up way more and pulled everything right out. I didn't need to remove the headlight to pull out anything. Now I see why the mechanics charge so much... so much to do and so just difficult to get things out. For example, I went to take one bolt out of the right motor mount with a ratchet wrench... then got stuck... couldn't get my wrench off... couldn't screw it in. Ok stop laughing. Grrrrrrrr. LOL So I cut the bolt in half. Where do I get a new bolt? So I pressed on, removing this and removing that. I decided to pull the head, I did buy the adapters to use the compressor and the valve spring compressor tool but... apparently not the correct air compressor adapters as the spark plug wells are so deep. So I'm removing the head... currently stuck the removal of the exhaust headers... and just tired of a long day. hahaha I'm off to El Paso tomorrow, returning Thursday evening. Do you all have suggestions for removal of the exhaust header? Thanks again guys!!! ![]() |

Go get some Mopar Rust Penetrant pn 04318039AC developed a loooong time ago by the chem lab at tech center..... that stuff is UNBELIEVABLE.... the 4 studs / nuts and heat shield looked even worse when I did mine looked like snap off specials but I soaked them overnight with that stuff and they came right off. Always have a can in the cabinet.
