Continuation of the epic with support cushions - Toyota Vista, 2.0 liter, 1998

Well, here came the long-awaited front cushion (original). I also had the experience of replacing it, but only on the 30th body, well, I thought that everything would go just as jauntily! There I did it in 20 minutes and without a hole, but then everything went wrong, but first things first…

First, I unscrewed the protective cap, it is also a protection bracket.

Then 3 support nuts

and the engine mounting bolt to the support itself

And then the most interesting thing, in theory, the pillow should just go up and everything would be fine, but for some reason it didn’t climb and I decided to remove the longitudinal beam along with the transverse one ...

Having tormented for another hour, by the way, the beam was not completely removed, because. I had to remove the stabilizer, and this is a separate hemorrhoid, I took off something like a pillow ...

And here she is standing next to the new

The assembly of this entire household took about 30 minutes.

Tools: a set of heads, mounting, jack, graphite grease (for lubricating fasteners).
Conclusions can be drawn such that if it were not for the cardan on the rear, it would be possible to simply jack up the front of the engine and remove the pillow! Oh well, next time we'll be smarter!
