Tools Required

J 41602 Body Protection Hoist Adapter Set


Removal Procedure

1. Raise the vehicle at the frame. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.

Important: Properly support the frame and the body while changing the mount. If you are changing only one mount, the entire side on which the mount is placed must be lowered enough to provide clearance for the mount.






2. Use the J 41602 in order to support the body at the pinchweld flange.




3. Remove the bolts that retain the front bumper fascia at the brace.




4. Remove the bolts that retain the front bumper fascia at the fender.




5. Remove the bolt, the retainer, and the lower insulator of the mount:

1. Loosen the remaining bolts on that side far enough for the upper insulator to be removed.
2. Gradually lower the screw jack in order to allow the frame to come away from the body.

6. Remove the upper body insulator.



Installation Procedure

1. Install the upper body insulator:

1. Gradually raise the screw jack in order to allow the frame to meet the body.
2. Tighten the bolts of the mounts not replaced. Do not torque at this time.





2. Install the lower insulator, the retainer, and the bolt to the mount. Do not tighten.





Important: Follow the body mount tightening sequence.


3. Snug the right #2 body mount (2).
4. Snug the left #2 body mount (2).

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.
