Congratulations on your purchase of the COBB Tuning Honda Rear Engine Mount! The following instructions will assist you through the installation process. Please read them BEFORE beginning the install to familiarize yourself with the steps and tools needed. If you feel you cannot properly perform this installation, we HIGHLY recommend you take the vehicle to a qualified and experienced automotive technician.

Stock Motor Mount Removal

1. Park your car in a flat level area and allow it to cool down.
   
   

2. Jack up or lift your car and support it properly on stands.
   
   

3. Pop underneath the car and remove the quick release clips using your large flat-bladed screwdriver to turn them 1/4 turn counter clockwise. FK8 will have 6 total quick release clips, while the FL5/DE5 will have 4

4. Using your #3 Phillips (smaller ones run the risk of damaging the screws!) remove the 2 screws in the front (and 2 in the rear if installing on FL5/DE5).
   
   

5. Gently pushing the cover towards the front of the car then pulling it down should release it from the car and allow you to expose the stock motor mount.
   
   

6. Using your 19mm wrench (ratcheting is easiest). Undo the bolt end attaching the mount to the transmission until you can move it by hand. Then (if using a ratcheting wrench or the box end) remove the wrench and unscrew the rest by hand or the open end of the wrench until it hits the exhaust. If you go too far with the wrench you can trap it against the exhaust. The bolt won’t come all the way out, just make sure it slips out of the bracket on the transmission.

8. Wiggle the mount out. Sometimes gently wiggling the transmission by the bracket can help you get the nose of the mount down far enough to pull it out. Making sure the bolt is all the way out of the threads of the mount (even if it’s just resting there) is critical to being able to accomplish that.

COBB Mount Installation

1. Examine the mount (isn’t it pretty?) apply a small amount of the provided lube to the faces of the aluminum parts.

4. As the mount slides into place, wiggling back and forth can help.
   
   

5. The bolt may get caught on the edge of the mount as it goes in, you can typically adjust the motors position by levering it with a screwdriver or by pulling with your hands.
   
   

6. It’s in! Tighten to factory torque specs and you’re good to go!
