Thanks for doing this! It was awesome to see the unedited process since a lot of videos just seem to assume we know where everything is.

Your welcome. Let me know if you need to see anything else to help with your home repairs.

Thanks for sharing ! Just ordered new mount and powerflex bushings

Thanks for posting this and for providing the torque settings… torque values not always easy to find as manufacturers typically like to rip off their customers by charging for that information.

I usually just use a piece of wood on my jack and jack it right on the rocker panel behind the litle block thing then put your jack stand on the block thing, it's the only way I could figure out how to do the same thing haha

Hi Tony T - thanks for the detailed video. Can You share your sources for the Replacement Engine Mount (Lower & Upper if possible) along with the source for the upgraded Bushings. Thanks in advance

I cut the old bush out. It was starting to perish anyway. They have a very short life I’m afraid. You can’t just buy the bush from Mini. It’s a complete unit. I bought a 2nd hand engine mount and used that instead of cutting up a new one.

Hello, sorry only just seen this. the black inserts will really increase the vibrations through the engine. if you remove them it removes all of the vibrations.

hi mate i have the same mount that fits on my bmw 2 series grand tourer, what i would like to know when this mount needs replacing do you hear like when u turn or hit a bump u hear a knocking noise?

@tonythowtovideos6691

You will feel a vibration under acceleration. Also if you open the bonnet and try to rock the engine if you feel movement the mount needs replacing. They don’t last very long I’m afraid. If you’re getting a clunking sound when going over bumps you may find your top mount needs replacing.

If there is a lot of movement then the lower will certainly need doing. It’s a quick easy job.

I see you left the black insert out of the new bushing. Have you tried it both ways, and if so, can you describe the difference you feel?

No need to support engine with a jack?

Hi, no. There is no need to support the engine with a jack. The lower mount acts more of a stabiliser for front to back movement. By changing to the power flex bush you may see the upper mounts wear quicker or may already need replacing.

@@tonythowtovideos6691 My 22’ F56 only has about 7k miles right now. Was looking at this mod to hopefully cut down on wheel hop. Are you saying that you believe changing over to the Powerflex lower bushings will accelerate wear on the upper engine mount? Thanks for your time.

Wheel hop is eliminated by using the Powerflex inserts for the upper engine mount.
