Getting Engine Mounts Out Off R32Gtr

[SIR-JD]

Hey guys,

I have a built 32gtr and one of the engine mouts have cracked...:-( My trusty mechanic is changing them for me but has run into a issue.

He has taken the drivers side out with no issue at all. He is having big issues getting the passenger side out and has said he is going to have to take one of the turbos out to get to the bolt... The turbos I have are -5's.

Has anyone else had this problem (is this normal)?

Thanks guys, Jonathan

Does not sound right at all.

You can remove the engine with turbos attached 100%

In fact rather than change turbos in the engine bay, a lot of people simply pull the motor out and then do it.

Hmmmmm that is odd... He has been a fantastic mechanic to date. I'll have a look myself. Cheers

Ant tips/tricks to it?

Yep undo both lift engine a few inches and he will have plenty of room or even justify offending side

its tight, but im pretty sure you can get a spanner on the nut.

the heat shield makes it so.

will post pics tomorrow(I have no hit side fitted atm).
