405TD Top engine mount - Anyway of getting in???

[stetson]

So,Just gone to replace the top engine mount on the 1.9TD, and have no idea of how to get to the bottom nut of the mount as it seems to be completely encased!
What could be a 5min job has stumped me.
Help!

Hi
Ive never done a diesel one, Ive done the petrol ones.
Do you mean the cadge nut that is part of the body shell?
The best way is to remove the mounting bracket that connects engine & engine mount together, 2 x nuts & 2 x bolts on petrols, support the lump with a jack with a bit of wood to spread the load.
You also have to remove that long bolt with the rubberised nut on the top ( A right sod to do )
If you have ABS the pipe bracket gets in the way slightly, just unscrew the 2 x torx bolts to help.
There is a special tool ( You dont need it ) to unscrew the mount, Hammer & a large flat blade screwdriver is just as good.
Any good to you?

Thanks for the reply! I am just stumped at the last bit of removing the old mount. Am i right in thinking i dont actually need access underneath the mount in order to unscrew it - Should just force it anti-clockwise with a driver?

Yes, The mounting just unscrews anti clockwise.
You dont need access to the nut, Its a cadged nut that is part of the body shell.
Those 3 cut outs in the mountings body are for the special Peugeot tool, Or for your big flat blade screwdriver & hammer.
Fit the new mounting, & a little dab of thread locking compound on the 4 engine bracket nuts / bolts is a good idea.

Thats ok, Ive done the top one on my 405 twice now over the years.
The bottom mounts even easier to change [:(!]
