Simonk Posted 23October, 2018 Report Share Posted 23October, 2018 I have some 997 ones that are soft, not broken. Are they the same? They’re still in the car but I have replacements ready. Was going to change them myself but chickened out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a daunting job but it's actually really really easy and there is a failsafe, if there is tension on the nut then the weight of the engine isn't on the jack.

dan_189 Posted 23October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 23October, 2018 The part numbers are specific 997 ones whereas the 996 mounts are the same for a 964, 993 and 996. You should try and do the job its quite easy, an air wrench helps to get the nut undone as well! If you need a step by step or a hand with it let me know! Did mine last weekend.

I should give it a crack. I read a recent horror story that turned me off the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken bolts? I undid the main nut with a rattle gun makes the job much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoL, Gerard might know the story... He had an issue with incorrect torque settings. I don't have a torque spanner so could potentially stuff it also so I'd need to buy one.

Nothing more satisfying than hearing a torque wrench click! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more satisfying than hearing a torque wrench click! Used mine for the very first time for that very purpose a couple of weeks ago, as part of my cleaning the inside of the rims process. Yes, very satisfying click, once you've worked out how to set the tension, after finding out what the correct setting is (130nm for those that don't know....).

dan_189 Posted 24October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 24October, 2018 Whats scarier are the reports of broken 997 engine mounts! One on a 996 (although it was a Rennline semisolid mount): It hurts to look at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted 27October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 27October, 2018 Quick update, @poli84 kindlely gave me his old 964 mounts but they are unfortunately unusable for what I'm doing so back on the hunt for any old 993/996 mounts. Please let me know if anyone has an old pair that are destined for the bin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha good question, well! I bought 964RS engine mounts but because of the design and lack of locating square nut on the bottom of them they allow the main bolt to tilt forward when they are done up. So my plan is to cut off a section of the standard 993/996 mount and replace the bottom 5mm washer with 5mm of the 993/996 mount Shaft with the square locating nut! If that doesn't make sense I'll put together a diagram 3 hours ago, 901er said: Ha ha, finally someone asks... I was waiting for someone to ask!
