Author Message   Whisperstealth Posted on Sunday, March 09, 2014 - 06:15 pm:        My front isolater is bad. Anybody with experience changing this out? Any tips/tricks/advice? Does the engine have to be rotated? Thanks for any help   Paul56 Posted on Sunday, March 09, 2014 - 07:41 pm:        Doesn't have to be rotated, but put a jack under it to wiggle it around when replacing the isolator. As I recall you can align it by raising/lowering the jack. When I did mine it took some time to get everything lined up. I used anti-sieze on the bolt. Definitely don't want to cross thread it.   Nillaice Posted on Monday, March 10, 2014 - 01:44 am:        yeah, just don't cross thread it   Darth_villar Posted on Monday, March 10, 2014 - 05:07 am:        I used a rear wheel stand, then secured the forks from above (cherry picker, rafters, whatever). Then used a jack under the muffler. Put a slight amount of pressure with the jack, removed bolt, applied anti-seize to the new bolt and carefully threaded it in. Adjusted height by jack as necessary.   Whisperstealth Posted on Monday, March 10, 2014 - 04:22 pm:        Thanks for the advice! This sounds like something I can tackle myself or with some help from a friend of mine. Seems I'm at that stage where parts are starting to go bad on me.... My gas mileage has really dropped, and I've heard it could be my O2 sensor.   Uly_man Posted on Monday, March 10, 2014 - 04:24 pm:        "and I've heard it could be my O2 sensor".
