How to Remove the Rear Motor Mount in a Prelude
The rear motor mount of a Honda Prelude can be found at the bottom rear of the engine on the support beam that is just before the transmission. The rear motor mount keeps the car's engine from moving and keeps it secured to the frame of the Prelude. The removal process is simple. It should only take you about 30 minutes to remove the mount from the engine and the frame of the Honda Prelude.

Park the Honda Prelude on flat, level ground in a well-lit area with plenty of room to work on both sides. Put on safety glasses. Raise the front end of the car off the ground using the jack. Rest the car on the jack stands. This should allow access under the car to the bottom of the engine.
