front engine mount on mercruiser 3.0

[ALAG3]

I have an oil leak on the front of my engine down at the bottom. I am told it is the front seal and to replace that, I must take off the lower pulley. This looks impossible without removing the front engine mount. How difficult is this and does it present alignment issues to remove and replace it, or can this be accomplished without changing adjustments? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Re: front engine mount on mercruiser 3.0

there are 4 bolts holding the mount assembly on 2 on each side. You need to support the engine then remove the assembly.<br />Any time the engine mounts are removed and reinstalled, it's a good idea to recheck the alignment.<br />There are 2 item #8 and 2 item #5 that holds the mount assembly on.<br /><br />
