Review on 🚗 ENA Front Rear Engine and Trans Mount Set of 5 Compatible with Honda 2005 2006 Odyssey Touring EX-L 3.5L - A Complete Replacement Solution by James Cabot

I bought these to replace my wife's 2006 Honda Odyssey engine mounts which had failed after 13 years. The original brackets were broken. The rear transmission mount split in two and the rear engine mount collapsed. The front gearbox and front motor mount seem fine, but I swapped them out anyway and kept them just in case. Each brace feels solid and "looks" like it will last a while. The front bracket was bent in one corner, which I didn't notice until I was having trouble inserting the screws. By the way, aligning and screwing in the bolts is already difficult, so I removed it and noticed the problem. I just tapped it lightly with a hammer and it straightened up and the bolts went in with no problem. I was apprehensive about replacing the rear transmission mount because when I tightened the bolt I felt like the threads were stripped. I didn't put much effort into tightening it. I just left it there and will take care of it later until that mount fails again. Hopefully by then my wife will have decided to buy a new car. At the moment the engine rumbles and jerks are gone, the van runs quietly and almost like new. The difficulty is high if you're not a mechanic, but it's doable. I'm a doctor (therapist) who loves to do things with his hands and my wife's minivan is my guinea pig lol. I followed the "How to Automate" instructions on YouTube. I was able to do this without deleting many things like Jamnajar did (also on YouTube). In my opinion you need an assistant. In my case, I had a friend who helped me, especially with the front mount. It was very difficult to mount the base onto the studs so I had to crawl under the car and guide the base to mount the studs. I used 3 oscillating extensions to get to the studs, specifically the two at the back of the front bracket. I think the job would have been quicker and easier if it wasn't for the rust welded bolts that I had to loosen with an impact wrench. In general, the location of the screws, especially the front bracket in such an awkward position, makes it difficult to work. The transmission pads were the easiest to replace, while the front pads were the most difficult. If these mounts last a few years, $175 will more than pay for itself. My wife only commutes and takes the kids to and from school within a 15 mile radius so hopefully that will be a while. I will update this review later.
