Engine Mounts
Changed mine yesterday. Pretty easy. Put the car on stands high enough for your size ( of course.) Disconnect upper radiator hose from plastic clamp. Remove both lower mount bolts.Jack the engine (with wood under oil pan ) as high as you can go without damaging anything against firewall. I used a 3/8 flex head ratchet and 16mm socket to reach in from the rear of the engine (it is a very tight fit but can be done) reach in and get socket on bolt and use all your finger strength to brake bolt loose. Couple turns and its finger tight. This is the AC side. there is a line bolted to the frame with with I think a 10 mm bolt. Remove the line from frame and lift up a bit and the mount will fall out. Mine was like changing an oil filter with all the oil spilling out. Reverse to install new one. The passenger side is very easy. Tighten the upper bolts as tight as you can. Lower engine to about 1/4 inch to frame and line up lower bolts. Mount have some flex in them to line up holes. Get bolts started lower engine down remove jacj, tighten lower bolts , reconnect rad hose and your done. Now put some cream on all the road rash on your arms. Total time 2 hours
