Sorry Wesk, you are right.
In the picture bellow you can see "the mounting support" is "K" cushion.
We want to replace and I not sure how.


Thanks for your help and sorry again
Regards

You will need to raise the front of the engine about 3". You will have to disconnect anything that can be damaged by that much movement.

As a minimum I would suggest:

1-Loosen all 4 powerplant mountings.
2-Disconnect gas pedal linkage between firewall and engine.
3-Disconnect upper radiator hose.
4-Remove tranny & transfer shifter cane covers.
5-Disconnect fuel supply line between fuel pump and frame.
5-Loosen the radiator grill a bit so you will be able move the support rods about on the jeeps with the tilting grill.

Watch carefully for any other tube or wire that seems to be stretching too far. Watch the lower radiator hose for stretching too far.

Remove the nut holding the cushion to the engine's front mount plate. Remove the two bolts securing the cushion to the frame.
Lift the engine from one of the forward head bolts (not the lifting bracket).
Lift it high enough for the top stud in the cushion to fall free of the engine's front mounting plate.
If you have the hinged radiator grill then you will have to manipulate the cushion to free the support are from the radiator.
