I will say that this is one of the, if not the, best tutorial I have seen from a mechanic. Thank you so much for this!

You are one of the best Mechanic out there, well explained and well done.

This is probably the best car repair video I have ever seen on any YT channel. Thanks VERY much for this well done video.

Ok, subject matter aside. This has to be the best, most comprehensive, clearly explained, well lit, no BS video I've ever seen on RU-vid on how to do ANYTHING. The DOUBLE wrench drop was epic, you really didn't think you'd get out of there without dropping something did you?

Thank you for creating this video. Your video enabled me to do it myself. My 2006 Honda Civic GX is appreciative too. The vibrations caused by a third party motor mount was driving us crazy! Replacing with a Honda original parts (50820-SNA-P01 and 50880-SNA-A82) solved our vibration and related noise problem. Providing torque specs was very helpful too.

Thank you for the tiny details such as neutralizing motor mounts, very good advice. I decided to change it myself after watching your video though the local mechanic charge quite decent fee, as I had never seen them using torque wrench! :D

Well done! and explained all the detail of the work .Keep up the good work and you help lot's people to fixed their own Honda Civic . Thank you!

Awesome stuff, man. Your videos saved me loads of cash because it gave me the confidence to work on my Civic. Hoping you can also do a video on how to replace the fuel filter / fuel strainer for this same vehicle.

Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Format was fantastic. It’s like we’re there next to you being instructed and the correct way. Thanks again!

Nice to see someone use a torque wrench. Thank you for sharing.

Big Dog as usual an excellent detailed video! Thanks for the helpful hints.

This is fantastic. I really appreciate your video. I need this particular mount changed eventually, and I think I'll be able to do it myself from watching this video.

Thanks a lot Big Dog, now I can do our Civic mounts. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you for the video and all the torque specs. I just finished this project in about 2 hours without an impact wrench. If you can borrow a 1/2” impact then I highly suggest it. I had an 18” breaker bar and about a 15” pipe on the end and it was almost undoable. All the bolts for the mounts (the 47 & 54 ft-lbs ones) were very difficult to break, I’m 6’ 200lbs for a reference. - Another note, I bought the mount from Honda with the top triangle aluminum bracket attached. I was able to snake the mount with the bracket into place, saving a little time. I didn’t fully remove the bracket that holds the brake lines either. - The hardest bolt to remove was on the backside of the mount. The mixture of brake, AC, and power steering lines made it tough to get to it.

the right tools make all the difference!

Approaching vibration zone, on mine one, and thank to you I know what to do. Many thanks for very detailed video with part numbers.

How or why would someone dislike this video. Literally the best instruction video ever

Wow this is a game changer. I just bought new motor mounts 40k ago and i did this mod before re ordering a paid and wiw it works great

Great Video - very well done!! You're a Master Mechanic AND a Master Instructor!

I dropped the oil filler cap down between the engine and firewall once. It didn't hit the floor and there is no metal in the oil filler cap. I had to raise the car (with a floor jack, etc.) just to retrieve it. I made more than an ugly face when i did that. Thanks for the wealth of information. Excellent video.

Excellent detail, thank you for all the specific part numbers and advice. Love your channel!

Thank you for such an informational tutorial 👍👍 I can tell you really did your research, which is unfortunately few and far between on RU-vid. Earned a like and a subscriber today

Some nice tools you used also

One of the best videos on youtube. Thanks. Torque is important. I see a lot of guys, including some professionals, that either don't apply torque correctly, or just, in the name of profit and time...don't torque at all, or only those items they deem necessary. Why they think they're better than the engineers that designed the fastening system, you got me.

👍 most rust free engine compartment I’ve seen. Thank you for the details on engine to bracket line up. Trying to complete a repair now.

Great at explaining,. Thanks for those tips. I would've gone crazy and lose it 👍

Simply the best I've seen on RU-vid. Thank you, you're awesome. God bless you

You are very organized with the way you work. Thumbs up! 👍 Just subscribed and smashed that bell notification.

Awesome Repair Video. Thank you for doing it!

Absolutely fantastic video! Wow. Impressive! Thank you!

Great vid,you work good and explain well,keep them coming

Excellent video,I have a mk8 civic and even though doesn't need doing,just nice to see it being done!very professional

Your video was very helpful, thank you so much for sharing this!

Thanks for that last tip at the end my mechanic replaced the mounts and it still kept vibrating i kept complaining but he didn't know what to do ):

To do a good job ya need the right tools. Thanks for the informative video, good job. 👍 Very thorough.

This guy kills it with common sense and pragmatics which inadvertently comes out as humorous..🤣🤔🤗😶🤨

Great repair brother

nice video..Great to see the use of OEM parts and Hardware..just did a 2007 EX with5 sp. ALL mounts...someone had replaced the rt.main/upper/rubber/assy. (reinstalled the old "uppr. torque rod")with Non OEM and the thing failed after 30k . it caused the other mounts to stress and it was best to replace everything...NOT CHEAP..for OEM but well worth the investment!!! Like a new car "Smooth as silk" Thanks again be safe out there!

Nice shiny tools! Great tips

I just finished this repair and i want to say that it was the biggest pain in the rear, bigdog your tutorial was amazing and you explained things really well, it was 10/10, now the issues i experienced during this repair was that the mounting bracket bolt which also comes with the new motor mount did not want to fit in all the way, no matter what i tried it refused to go in, yet it came out very easy when i removed the bracket to fit new motor mount back in, after that the bolt flat out did not want to go in, so i attempted to tighten it as hard as i could and ended up damaging the brand new engine mount, the top part of the mount started spinning and its not supposed to do that, now i left it like that as the screw was still tight and the bracket did not move even though the screw was not all the way in, next bolt issue was the bolt on the torque rod, the one that has the small bracket fit in just fine, now the one next to it(closer to the engine) also refuses to go in all the way, i managed to tighten it up to the proper torque but the screw only went half of the way in, so again i left it like that. A quick tip is, when aligning the mount bracket, make sure to lift the engine up, if you lifted it too high, bring it down a bit(slowly) and it will align perfectly, dont be afraid to push and pull the engine to align it, i had to do that and had no choice, if you aligned the 2 holes of the engine to the bracket but the 3rd one doesnt align, again push and pull the engine to align it, if it aligns for a moment and the engine moves itself back misaligning it, lower the engine a bit, and try pulling and pushing it again, the weight would cause it to stay aligned once you align it. Now i want to point out that my issues with the bolts had nothing to do with how my engine or bracket was aligned, i literally removed the entire mount again and attempted to put the bolt by itself back in without the bracket and it just didnt want to go in all the way, yet somehow it goes right in perfectly on my old mount with the new screw, now after i finished putting everything back together and leaving the 2 bolts tight but not in all the way and also the new mount possibly damaged, i started my car to absolutely no more shaking, i took a drive across the highway and my car was as smooth as a new car, i have never felt my car so smooth, even a possibly broken new mount with the main bracket screw not in all the way and the one torque rod screw half way in, my car still feels like new, now the torque rods job is to prevent engine movement back and forth, so having 1 bolt in half way doesnt affect it since the engine doesnt move up and down because the mount prevents that, now the bracket mount bolt was tight enough and the bracket was tight and did not move so i can say that it seemed safe to leave it that way(though i dont recommend it) but i had no choice, and its not my fault that the stupid bolt just decided to not fit all the way, brand new bolt that came in with the engine mount. So theres my story

Thanks for the video! Really helps us 8th gen owners. Is anyone going to say how clean that engine is being 13 years old when this was released? Kudos to you! I am going to do this job in a week.

Thank you so much! This video was very helpful

Best video out there for this job, thank you sir

BIG DOG, You are the best!

Just changed my mount thanks to this video and saved a lot of money follow his instructions step by step and don’t skip steps like I did it will save you a lot of time and brain cells.

Do you think it would be possible to remove just 2 bolts from engine mount stiffener, loosen up the third one (horizontal on the left) and without removing the stiffener wiggle out the engine mount?

Excellent job & video thanks! Bill B, Charleston SC.

Dave another good video. Oh and by the way, once I had that extra cup of coffee the drive CV axle popped right out. Dave, I just found out that Honda changed the oil spec on my 99 3.0 Honda engine from 5w30 to 5w20. Thought it was a misprint but I Emailed them and they confirmed it that 99 Honda 3.0s now use 5w20. Well, at least now both my Hondas 3.5 and 3.0 use the same oil. Who knew. ❤️️

thanks so much for this video helped a lot, great explanation, two thumps up!!!

Excellent tutorial

Great vid! Great work!

Excellent video 👍🏻

Question! I started to remove the 17mm on the torque mount and the longest bolt ( nut ? ) seems super loose as if it’ll just fall down if I fully remove that long bolt.. so I re-tightened for now. Does that nut move freely? Or is mine broken

Them gear wrench set of long ratcheting wrenches is nice

Thank you for this sir!

Question, I this something that should be done at a certain mileage for preventative maintenance or should we wait until the absolutely need to be replaced?

Well explained with tightening torques 🙏🏾

Thank you, this helped a lot!

PLEASE HELP!! My motor mount is broken, I get vibration and a grinding noise. I thought the motor mount was the top rubber part you removed, mine is cracked but not sure if I have to replace the whole bottom hydraulic piece or just the broken rubber mount thing.

Bravo 👏 👏👏👏👏 sr good job i’m looking forward to do it on my car 2006 Honda Civic thank you ✌️

Hi i have the shake problem with my nissan rogue 2013 when i shift from N to R and D . I have replaced one mount but i still have the problem

Didnt realize big dog bro you were 65 miles from me lol here in florence Az

Thank you so much for this video

Thanks for posting.

I have a 2009 Honda Civic. Do I need to replace all of the engine mounts at the same time or can I replace them one at a time? Thanks!

Can't wait to get my Honda!

Hi, I need help if you don't mind. . When I am driving suddenly the car shuts oof with any engine warring or something.. For example when I slow down or when I take a turn.. It happened many times.

Awesome!! There's no gap between the bracket and the bottle mounting on my car. Mechanic mentioned that the mounting needs to be replaced. There's also a squeak coming when driving the car. Could the failed mounting be the reason for that squeak? Do failed top engine mountings cause squeak noises when driving straight?

Nuetralizing the engine mounts good to know

Hello there! I found out atleast 4 variations of the part number for the same part. Could you please help which one is the latest among the below 1. 50820 - SNL - T01 2. 50820 - SNB- J02 3. 50820 - SNA - P01 4. 50820 - SNB - H01

Thanks for the lesson sir! Doing mine right now in 2020. Shalauuam(peace in paleo Hebrew)!

Sir , Great video, i have quick question i used your link to buy the honda mount it came today in Honda box from Japan , How do you tell its a real Honda part. My orginal mount have a big part number on it this one doesn't . Thks

Just finished the repair. Couldn't have been easier thanks to your help.

do you have a video on the test where you push the brakes and accelration on a fix rubber mount?

Sir, Quesion i ordered your part number off Amazon and installed it , but found out its for a sedan and i have a coupe ,, it mounted up great but i looked at honda parts book and it list two different engine mounts , my in for a sedan, will it cause any issues, can you please let me know, New to honda cars thks

The bolt of the first mount that has to be removed just keeps spinning. Any idea how to remove it ?

Amazing job

I see that the part number is 50820-SNA-P01. Is it the same fit on the coupe style?

You have a lot of automotive tools especially you can’t buy them from a local store..... I believe those are snap on?? Guessing you are a certified mechanic. Thanks for your video 👍

You are my hero

Dear Big Dog, What is the part # of the big stud that screwed into the engine.. mine broke.. and i can't find this part anywhere...?

Great job👍👍👍👍👍

Hello sir where is the location of the fuse for side mirror auto fold function in Honda Civic 8th gen Plz let me know ....

Excellent video, how much would be approximately the cost in parts and labor in total for honda civic...?

Can you use the after market part for this engine mount? Thank you.

Thank you for the video, I’ll be replacing mine soon. Do you know what the torque specs are for the lower torque mount? The one by the oil pan?

What Milwaukee impact driver was that

When the engine drops does it affect the connection to the transmission?

tried to replace mine but when I tried to remove the bolt in the uppermont is just keeps in rotating. I’m still looking for a work around how to remove the bolt.

9:55 what was the inch of that extension do u used for that? 5inch? Or 6 inch extension?

My stud bolt came off the thread in the whole got stripped is that fixable

Great video. Good job

Doing 1995 honda odyssey head rebuld what rebuild kit would you recommend. Odyssey has 300,000 miles on it . Looking at enginetech, felpro, evergreen etc oem beyond my budget. Great video as usual using wifeys ipad

Wow! Thank you.

Thanks so much man! My Civic is going on a third loop, just passed 205,000 miles, and I used your videos to do most of the maintenance! You're a legend man. P.S. Any chance you could make a video on how to replace timing chain on 8th gen Civic? Don't need it yet, but there's not a single video on youtube how to do it, and it's a hell of a job for a regular DIY noob like me to attempt it.

Does 50820-SNA-P01 WORK FOR BOTH SEDAN AND COUPE MODEL CIVICS?

you sould also invlude the after fix engine mount load test to see the difference from before

At least you got the wrench back! Sometimes they get lost down there!

hello the master machine, as a person that not understand about cars at all like me, first thing i need help is how many mounts in this car and how do i know that which one was bad so i can be replace the right one, thank you very much , great job.
