Hello. New to this forum. I have a question. Since my dogbone bracket to engine snapped in half I will need to replace all mounts on car. I have never seen a bracket break like mine and there was no signs the mounts were gone. Got the parts now and going to tackle it. Any advice on order in which to replace them would be cool. And any helpful tips. There is so little working space to work in with these fieros. It drives me crazy but that's what I have and sticking to it. I have a 1987 fiero 2.5. Stock fiero. Great little car. I am bringing it back up to par. It's been sitting a for over 10 years on my driveway. Thanks for any help.

Fiero engine mount replacement with pics
Fiero engine mount replacement / picsHonest, the replacement of my Fiero engine mounts was not as bad as I thought that it would be. Its done and I feel proud of myself. Ok, I have an 86, V-6 with a 4-speed transmission. It took about 4 hours leisurely but that is with everything including clean...

Any time I'm doing something in a car I've never really worked on is always a pain. I know the basics. I just hate being surprised or pissed that I needed to do something special or needed a special tool. Thank you for the link. My 70 camaro is more favorable to work on by far. I like my little guy ( fiero) so its all worth my time.
Ok here goes I'm lugging my butt to fiero let you know how it goes!

Ok so it took me about 2 and half hours. Was simple and no problems. The only thing I did differently was use 2 jacks to lift the engine. When I used one it would lean to forward so I got my second jack (bottle jack) and used that to make it sit straight. Worked great. Now for the headlights! It's getting there. Can't wait to get the paint job done on it. Mine is that horrid gold color. A dark dark blue or black are my picks. Anyone know where they sell nice rims for at a good price? Mine are those gold stock rims. I want some 5 spoke black rims. I will buy them used or new. 14 inch.

A good set of jack stands are a "must have" to complete the job. A small hydrolic jack to lift the engine slightly in order to get the mounts out. Either can be removed and replaced first.
Pretty easy job to do, and streight forward. While your under there check around for rust etc. Surprised that the dog one would snap in half. Something below must have shifted significantly in order for THAT to happen, so take a good look around.
