How do you get them off  On the f/o/s rubber mount on a Peugeot 205 is there a special tool required to turn the whole rubber as I cannot see how you could put a spanner underneath to loosen a nut. I`ve had the "triangle" rubbers removed and replaced along with the ally mount to the engine but cannot work out how to remove the rubber mount. Cheers boys. |

It's a captive nut. I seem to recall that there's a hex at the base of the top threaded shank that you can get a socket on to turn it.

Are you talking about this mount:  In which case is screws into a captive nut at the bottom. To remove it you have to turn the hex on the top and hope the mount doesn't disintegrate! I'm not great at explanations but hopefully the picture will help. |

When I did the last two, I used a cold blow on the flange of the lower part of the engine mount of that picture in order to remove it (turning it as a result with a chisel and hammer small increments at a time). On both, the rubber itself seemed to absorb all the torque, hence me (and from what I understand quite a few) resorting to cold blowing the mount off with a chisel.

Cheers guys.
I will have to wait until my daughter returns with the car to have another look.
Spent half of the day also trying to get a worn track rod end off without success but fitted a new set of brake pads as way of temporary compensation.

You put a blunt chisel in the recesses in the rubber and hit it with a lump hammer until it slowly starts turning. That's what they are there for. You sometimes have to hit them quite hard to get it started.

there is a proper tool, I even made one from a piece of exhaust pipe, but most just use a chisel/large punch as mentioned.

Guys - got the mount off with a good old chisel. The new one has a "star drive" top so will be easier to work. Fitted a new track rod end also for good measure.
Cheers
