Today I replaced the worn out engine mount on my 1998 Porsche Boxster 986. I didn’t have any symptoms of it needing to be replaced, but I knew that time had been wearing it away. Turns out the bushing was indeed failing! Made a DIY tutorial of the removal and installation of new parts.

Those rubber pieces are torque control inserts. I am not sure what they do. Thanks for more Boxster content!
where did you get those tails? did you have to do any additional wiring?
Nice clear view and video & explanation at all locations
In lieu of a press you can use a pipe and threaded rod. The rod extends through the bushing then an appropriate sized washer or group of washers are places to form a bearing surface against the bushing..the opposite side extends through the pipe which is large enough to press on the housing and allow the bushing to slip through….then put a bar with a hole for the threaded rod to pass through at the far end of the pipe. Extraction of the bushing is a matter of tightening nuts on each end of the threaded rod. In this case two threaded rods will allow balanceof theforce applied.
Good video! Thanks for sharing!
