Broken Left Engine Mount Bracket

Well, my brother had his car towed over the other day.

As it turns out, the problem with the car is a broken motor mount bracket. The other issue is that one of the bolts had been stripped out. I was wondering if the part that the bracket attaches to the engine can be removed as well. It looks like the piece also supports the alternator.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Yes it does. You would also have to remove timing covers to get the big bracket out and in.

You might be able to rethread it (or maybe install a heli-coil?) without removing it, or if the hole goes all the way through you may be able to use a longer bolt and nut.

The top bracket probably broke because it was missing that one fastener.
