Looks like my drivers side mount is getting worn.
What's needed to do this tool wise?
Any mounts to avoid buying?

I avoided that one to begin with because of the 83 pages. First page is riddled with off topic BS about a dashboard.
Was hoping for a quick synopsis of what I needed.

long threads I sometimes start at the end and work backwards.
hummer 3 mounts from rock auto is usually the cheapest place for them. you need like 2 of the one side. again I don't know part number off hand. I guess the first post of that sticky could be updated with the details.
watch some youtube videos of the change. pull the fender liner, I jacked the motor up from the exhaust pipe, but others did it from the oil pan with some wood on the jack to protect it.
fight with it for a few hours and you can get the old one out out and new in with blood sweat and cussing.
I have not done my passenger size yet. the drivers gets pulled up and rips, the passenger side gets pushed down. I'll get around to it one day.
maybe while I have the oil pan off for that gasket.
Thank you BOTH. THIS information should be stickied!Most of us go with the mount for the H3 Hummer V8: https://a.co/d/0dxxYs9k
Not quite as smooth as the fluid filled factory mount but it'll be the last time you ever have to replace it.
My notes from when I did the driver's side:
1/ I separated the steering shaft. It was a pain to do and took some patience, but it improved access significantly.
2/ As others have said they did also, I took the front wheel off along with the fender liner. Takes 10 minutes to do both. Game changer.
3/ I removed the heat shield from the exhaust manifold after patiently waiting for the penetrating oil to do its job on the bolts.
4/ I used a block of wood under the oil pan with a good quality floor jack that made it easy to support the engine and carefully raise it incrementally as needed.
5/ I cut away the heat shield from the motor mount with a pair of tin snips to get better access to the bolts.
6/ I used a wobble joint on the socket wrench.
Having done the job now, I wager I could do it again in a couple of hours and less than 3 beers, taking my time.
It's also a really good time to change the engine oil cooler lines, if so equipped.
And, thank you for your military service.
Yup, they were like $92 when I bought mine 4-5 years ago. They're like $250 nowNot that it helps with this thread... But Holy **** those Hummer motor mounts
have gone UP in price.. I think I paid about $105 EACH when i did mine 4 years ago.
Glad I got on this forum and got em in.. I still have my stock one.. They were fine, I was
just upgrading and this forum helped out a lot
