2015 Engine Mounts Questions
Planning to do the engine mounts on 2015 non 4 matic. No rush, they still work, but want to replace for maitenance.
My first question. Where do I lift the engine? Just looking around, I dont see any hooks or lift points. I can probably use a piece of wood under bell housing. Just in planning stage now, so want to take my time and plan.
Second question. Would engine hoist or engine support bar be easier? Have quickjacks, so have some height to get under car.
Last time did job like this, bought hoist on craigslist and just sold it afterwards again.

Here's the WIS pdf for it and the hoist for raising the engine. Lift engine from the top using the lifting eye.
I use this lifting rig from harbor freight, https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-l...bar-96524.html
