I need someone to outline the steps to replacing the left rear motor mount. I have replaced the front and the rear right but this other one looks more mysterious.
I believe the part number of the mount is 8706X.
Thanks

you're talking about the one by the transmission?
EM-44 and EM-45 i don't think you need to do all those steps since you're just R&R the mount...
but from other parts of teh internetz:

Those two on the driver's side. One is called Transmission mount which it holds the transmission to the main frame. This is a pain on the butt. Space is very limited. The bottom one requires taking out the transaxle off before you have the space to install. The top (trans-mount) is easy by taking the some of the upper parts out first.

Yep, that's kind of what I meant by mysterious. Seeing the exploded view of the engine parts doesn't show me how to safely replace the motor mount. "taking the some of the upper parts out first" - Really??
With the RF and RR I had to jack up the engine using a board under the oil pan. The step by step instructions for those said to do it that way. I'm not a mechanic and I don't have a lift. I'd rather not be under my car on jack stands just trying to figure it out; there isn't room under there to get many different angles of view at the situation.

Re: 2002 Quest - Steps to replace Left Rear motor mount
yea, sorry about that... i tried to look it up on teh internets for you...
the front trans mount can be replaced from above, removing the battery and intake parts i guess, while the rear one has to be attacked from below... i don't have to do them on my vehicle yet (will check in the spring)
yea, i saw the youtube vid for the passenger side, with the crossmember

in hindsight, the ones that need frequent replacement of these mounts are the drivers who doesn't use the parking brake to hold the vehicle's weight... i step on the parking brake, shift to N just to be sure there's no stress on the mounts, then move the shifter to P
