To remove the timing belt cover on my car you have to remove the side engine mount. Its not mechanically attached, but acts like a sideways bumper. Do I have to suport the engine on a jack when i remove it, or can i get away with just pulling it out?
You will need to support it(jack) as you're taking the bolt out so you might as well leave it there, plus the motor will drop a bit if you don't have a jack under it.
