🔧 Accord - Engine Mount Replacement

Replacing engine mounts means supporting the engine, unbolting the worn mounts, and installing new ones so the engine sits correctly and doesn’t shake or clunk. On your Accord there are multiple mounts, and the exact parts/steps change depending on transmission and which mount(s) you’re doing.

Difficulty Level: Advanced | Estimated Time: 2-5 hours

⚠️ Safety & Precautions

• ⚠️ Never get under the car supported only by a jack—use jack stands.
• ⚠️ The engine must be supported before any mount is loosened.
• ⚠️ Keep hands clear when raising/lowering the engine—pinch/crush hazard.
• ⚠️ Work on a cool engine to avoid burns.
• ⚠️ If you remove the upper torque mount/brackets, don’t start the engine until everything is torqued.

📋 Before You Begin

• Park on level ground, set the parking brake, and place wheel chocks behind the rear tires.
• Open the hood and remove any loose items.
• Plan to support the engine with a floor jack and a wood block (the wood spreads the load so you don’t dent the oil pan).
• Spray penetrating oil on mount nuts/bolts 10–15 minutes before removal.

Reply with: “Automatic + all mounts” (or similar).

✅ After Repair

• Start the engine and check for abnormal vibration, clunks, or shifting/throttle movement.
• With the hood open, have a helper hold the brake and lightly shift through gears to confirm the engine doesn’t jump.
• Recheck all visible fasteners after a short test drive.
