See Figure 2.
13. Place the top plate back on and tighten the No. 4 engine mount bracket nuts and bolts to the torque indicated in Figure 3.
Tightening torque:
a: 32.5-45.0 ft.-lbf. (44.0-61.0 Nm)
b: 61.1-86.7 in.-lbf. (6.9-9.8 Nm)
14. Lift the engine again using the jack and loosen the two bolts on the No. 1 engine mount rubber until they are slightly loose on the No. 1 engine mount rubber.
See Figure 4.
15. Shake/rock the engine back and forth.
16. Tighten the bolts in order below.
a: Crossmember-side No.1 engine mount rubber. Tightening Torque: 68.7-86.1 ft.-lbf. (93.1-116.6 Nm)
b: Engine-side No. 1 engine mount rubber. Tightening Torque: 68.7-86.1 ft.- lbf. (93.1-116.6 Nm)
A/C Pipe Adjustment
Note: The A/C pipes and bracket are located on the right rear of the engine compartment, bolted to the frame rail.
1. Loosen the A/C pipe bracket bolt and/or nut.
2. Position the A/C pipe bracket so the A/C pipes are as close to the center in the bushings as
possible.
Note: On Mazda5, center both A/C pipes and on Mazda3, center only the rear pipe as the front pipe cannot be centered due to bushing thickness.
3. Tighten the bolt and nut. Tightening torque: 61.0-86.8 in.-lb. (6.89-9.80 Nm)
