    If it’s already bolted in, try unbolting the 10mm closest to the threads to free it up a bit.

    YOU DONT NEED TO REMOVE THE EXHAUST, CATS OR EVEN THE CENTER SUPPORT BEARING, OR OXYGEN SENSORS. You only need to remove the steering column U joint, and the driveshaft coupler to the back of the transmission. You don’t even need to fully remove the starter. All you have to do is unbolt it, disconnect it, and set it aside on top of the cross member. Literally it can be set aside without needing to fully pull it out. Also, you don’t need to even pop the hood aside from disconnecting the battery.

    That is correct, I mentioned this at 3:57, and I will pin this comment so others know that *YOU DO NOT NEED TO FOLLOW THE GUIDE 100%* . I struggled to get those bolts with the exhaust in the way so I decided to just remove the cats/exhaust. In hindsight, it could be done without removing center bearing also. 👍

    For the rear mount: Once everything is unbolted I dropped the jack supporting the engine completely and the old mount came right out and new one went right in. Didn’t even take two minutes. Then I jacked the engine back up to line up the holes for the center bolt. I thought this might help someone. Thanks for the awesome video!

    This transmission isn’t really known have any serious issues so I’d feel confident in a low mileage unit. If you are unable to locate one for a reasonable price, rebuilding may be the way to go.

  • @araparts
    @araparts23 күн бұрын

    There’s no power to the coils while the engine is off, so no need to. Just don’t leave the ignition in the on or accessory position (radio playing). Of course with electrical work, disconnecting the negative terminal is never a bad idea.

    That’s not easy regular water pump to replace it. You have to know what you doing. It’s hard to do in the shop. Do you imagine if you do on the floor how hard will be and how long will take?Lexus warranty is paid almost 9 hours and it takes almost a day if you do first time. So you saved $2,500 labor right there.

    Removing the intake manifold isn't as hard as you would imagine it to be either. If you have bigger hands, you may want to consider that method. This video is for those who want to attempt this job from underneath the vehicle. If I do this job again on another CRV (or if the new starter fails) I'll be showing you how to remove the intake manifold.

    On the first transmission mount, did you secure the transmission with jack? Thanks for so a helpful video.!

  • @araparts
    @arapartsАй бұрын

    The mount towards the rear (kinda “A” shaped) I absolutely did move the jack towards the rear of the transmission casing. That’s thing one I didn’t record and should have. I did mention it. It is an important detail. I was unable to get enough movement to get the bolt to go through. Find a good spot as close to that mount on the transmission, and you’ll get enough movement to get the bolt in place. 💪

    True, you can definitely do that. On my own car, I would absolutely. On a customer car, I only do that if I have no choice (usually rust/corrosion) just in case there's an issue with the new part and customer needs their vehicle back.

    It'll be fine. There was no check engine light, and the modules that show any errors will eventually redo their self test and update on their own. There was no check engine light, etc. I used an Xtools D7 ODBII scanner to erase the error codes from the modules immediately.

  • @araparts
    @araparts3 ай бұрын

    Those bushings on the control arm don't typically wear as often as the lower control arm bushings, so the general advice is no, you don't need to replace them at the same time. However if you inspect them and notice any movement, then yes, they are worn and need replacing.

    (Late reply) There’s not many options for this car unfortunately. I wish Corteco or Febi had some options for Japanese cars like they do Euro cars. There’s OEM and then Dorman. Dorman is a great company that has some made in USA stuff, but like many others know, it can tend to be a hit or miss at times. They do have 2 different grades of this part. 540839 and 540840 are the higher grade, but not many keep this in stock. I would compare the pricing to OEM. To my understanding, OEM isn’t much more in price.

    I didn't include this part in this video unfortunately. Here is a picture of the jack and support points. The support points in this video are the pinch weld. toyotaowners.b-cdn.net/uploads/monthly_2020_09/000088.jpg.bdcb6aeefbf136c9993d1bc2c6bf4814.jpg?ToyotaOwnersClub&ForumLinks I typically jack up from the front and place my jack stands on the pinch welds. When I want to raise higher, I jack from the pinch welds with a good jack pad that doesn't bend the pinch welds. I also would only jack the car up a little at a time on each side if you are raising it up really high which you can only do with 3 ton and bigger jack stands. I don't have a jacking image for this specific car, but there are points in the front and rear where you can jack the car up. I recommend using a jack pad that has the pinch weld support to prevent bending the pinch weld. If you bend the pinch weld, don't worry - just bend it back. Take some time to find a good jack pad that fit your jack well.

    Hi, we had exhaust replaced (including converter) on my wife's 2007 Vibe. After the new converter installed, the Vibe developed some vibration. There was check engine light and my wife brought the car back to the garage. The garage then told us the motor mounts needed to be replaced. We agreed, as the vibration was quite noticeable and even damaged the new exhaust. All mounts were replaced. After the mount replacement, an oil leak happened, that required a new valve gasket. Now after 2300 $ bill the car vibrates terribly and rambles loudly in reverse, and in Drive, when idle, at a stop and in slower speeds. There is also some knocking when driving and the car does not stay driving, gas pedal has to be constantly pushed. The garage basically gave us the car saying they cannot do anything else to improve the vibration. It however keeps damaging things, even the trunk rattles now and the doors and windows as well. Any idea if we can save the car?

    And pull your coil packs and check your plugs and make sure there is no oil on them.. I found oil on the #1 plug about 3 months after I replaced the valve cover. I'm not sure why that happened but its been okay since. It was causing a vibration but didn't illuminate the check engine light.

    Also jack up the front wheels and use jackstands on both sides and do an inspection of all the bolts on the motor mount and anything else you see you should be able track down the knocking noise.. Normally a stuck brake caliper will cause the car not to coast while not pressing the accelerator pedal. It sounds like the shop messed up somewhere... Older Corollas do tend to have a slight vibration and a little engine noise that is normal.

    @@RicardoSilvas-uq6wn thank you for your input. We are concerned that while the shop was replacing the mounts they damaged either the engine or transmission. I am 1500 miles away and my wife is trying to get diagnostics in town she currently is in, and we had already poor experience with GM dealership there(long story).One private place associated with Napa, kept the car twice for a day, and did nothing (scheduled for 9 am , she got the car back at 4 pm) no charge, they sent her back to the same shop that did all major work. Update. She had the same shop to replace spark plugs. She also noticed the air intake tube was loose and just banging behi d the battery (it used to be fastened at the headlight ) and got them to get it screwed back in...They claim they cleaned MAF and throttle body. Strange smell like burning persists at drivers side and sewing machine noise also. Louder towards the bottom of the engine drivers side. Hesitation and struggle when accelerating from stop signs...She also said it seems there is some vibration and noise in neutral.
