Others can confirm this: the "insert" is bonded to the metal. *NM*

I see some vendors selling the front mount mount insert without the mounting bracket for about half what the whole assembly costs. Is there any issue with buying the mount only, such as issues relating to aligning the new mount in the bracket?

I have access to a hydraulic press to press out the old mount.

Thanks

Minus 40 degrees... Is that Fahrenheit or Celsius?

I picture it as similar to replacing a wheel bearing in the wheel hub. I'm not talking material types or anything like that, just fitment and orientation issues.

I have personally replaced my Boxster motor mount with just replacing the rubber portion. Laz is correct, the ruler is inside a metal sleeve. I also have a press to press the old mount out but found it a little easier to bang the hold on out with a right size bearing I had. It's over all a real easy process the only hard part about it is getting the new mount to slide into the mounting bracket. Also remember to have the insert facing the right way before you press it in

I replaced mine with the Wevo polyurethane mount. It was an easy install, since it came in two pieces, and was bolted in. I did sacrifice some comfort, though, since much more vibration is transmitted to the cockpit.
