Body mount

I'm planning to replace my body mounts. How do I separate the body from the frame? Can I raise the body to get the gaps I need to remove the old bushings?
Will it hold?
Need good advice
Thanks

Re: Body mount

I just use a floor jack and a block of wood. Don't have to lift it much, just support it enough to slip the mount in

Re: Body mount

If I remember right the very rear one I placed the jack in the corner and the center mount was under the A pillar. You could probably lift the whole side with the block of wood under the floor brace. Don't have to pick it up much

No problem at all. I just did what you said. The bolt and the rubber mount lose smoothly.
Thank you for sharing.
