Wrong Parts to Repair a Spool Mount?

I don't think that's going to work. Kinda like putting a round peg in a square hole, only yours is oval. Part# EM2369 or EM2325/2326 I think is what you want.

These are the #2369. The 2325 and 2326 are the ones with the bracket included. I guess I could go that route but I was trying to reuse the old brackets.

While in the Rockauto catalog, when you clicked on the drop down box for the motor mount, just below there is a line for motor mount insert. Click on it and you will see that energy suspension is selling their motor mounts. There is no sale price till you place it in the cart. Either way, I believe the above is what you're looking for, not what you've bought..

Ahh, I didn't look there. "Must reuse original metal shells" That makes sense, I think those are what I should have gone with. Unfortunately I sort of mangled that one shell when I knocked it out of the mount.

You have to reuse the metal sleeve. Press the new rubber part into the CLEANED up sleeve and go back together.

The problem is the #2369 part is a combination of metal sleeve and rubber bushing. That cylinder on the outside is painted steel. If it won't go into the bracket, there's no way it will go into the shell that used to be in the bracket. But yeah, based on what I'm seeing now, that is the way to do it.

I'll probably just try to return these as they aren't going to work. Thanks everyone.
