i just got a set of prothane solid motor mounts, and i can not get them in the stock mounting bracket, anyone else have trouble like this, do you need a hydralic press or something?

 

do you have a vise?

 

you'd need a big ass vice.

i lubed mine up, and bench viced them in.

 

Little lube and a bench vise will do the trick

 

thats what i meant

 

tried that, like measuring therm compared to the one that came out its too big to go in, like i want as far as to cut the lip off one side so it could go in, i used a pipe on the vise and still wouldnt go in

 

Post a picture of the bushing you received... Not sure where you ordered it from, but we will verify you have the right looking ones... Part number on the prothane box should say "7-516", unless Prothane boxed the wrong bushings???

 

Bah, hate those prothane mounts. Anything better than stock, though.

 

yeah check part #'s and pictures of what u saying would help Hope u get it figured out.

 

u need a press, or some lube and a 2x4 to put pressure on...they wont slide on, they have to be pressed on

 

the item number is 7-517



soooo they sent me the wrong mount? cause turbotech is sayin it should be 516

 

We need a side shot of the bushings.

Who sold you these? They should have sent you 7-516...

You will NEVER get in the 7-517's in your mounts....

 

isnt that a tranny mount? not a motor mount???

 

look to be a trans mount

 

fact is there are different inside diameters of lower mounts for Redline and Cobalt depending on production dates. Hard to deal with on an ongoing basis and more prevalent the past two years; good luck.

 

ott sold me this......

sideshot

 

measure the inside diameter of the mount you are installing into, and tell OTTP. They can send you the correct one for your car. What is the year and model of your car? that will help, and which mount front or rear you are changing.

 

i cross checked with turbo techs website, ott sent me the wrong mount, they sent me the one for the 2.4 ss

 

Yes correct.

You 100% without a doubt have a 7-517, which is for the 2.2/2.4L manual trans....

You need the 7-516 kit for the 2.0L LSJ trans.

Says in his sig he has a 2006 SS/SC which means 7-516 not the ones he has...

Exactly. I am sure OTTP will send a pre paid shipping label to take these back, and send you the right ones...

 

thanks turbo tech for the help, i can send one back but not the other, cause i kinda wrecked shop on it trying to get it in

 

uggh that suckss

 

ya it does, i mean i just assumed they sent me the right mount, sucks

 

so tell them that. they might understand and just take the hit for the money

 

hey said the warehouse wont take back damage merch, he said hell give me the new ones at cost
