u trying to ask how to install it? if so remove nuts then remove upper dog mount . get a jack and some stands and a peice of wood jack car up install jack stands put wood on jack and jack up on oil and trans pan and slide the mount out and install new mount can be done in any driveway dont even have to remove the tire if u wanna work around it LOL

I'm a little out of it today

It helps alot with 2 people, trying to line the bolt holes up by yourself can get annoying while lowering the jack.

I see i see.
I may has help on this.

I drop motors in and sometimes they fall right into place. Other times..a little work is needed. All depends on your luck at that moment.
If you checked the how to section....I'm sure you'd find something with my name on it.

i changed both my lower mounts solo. its so doable.
all you need is a jack and a 2x6 thats 2 feel long to span the oil pan and trans pan to lift the engine up a few inches, also unbolt the top strut mounts.
heres a vid how to do the trans mount, the motor mount is the same deal. the top bolts are just a bit harder to get off being under the oil pan a bit.
there are 3 parts to this vid.

More like being under the harmonic balancer.. Makes them a pain to get to. You'll want a ratcheting wrench because a socket won't get in there

more like past the balancer and under the pan still.

Well we can agree that the nuts are a *****
10-19-2012
by all means, yes, we can agree on that.........

I think you both are a couple of wusses. I find that a shallow 15mm socket and the thin head ratchet do the job with ease.
What can I say..I have a few tools.

Top bolts are a b!tch. Refuse to come off lol
10-19-2012
But i got it....
Think i needed a new motor mount?
10-19-2012
Top bolts were tough...because of one of the following
1, You are a wuss.
2. You don't have the right tools.
3. You did it wrong.

I'd aim at using a basic socket wrench.
Having 3 shots in my dominant arm last night.
And 200,000 miles. Its the original mount lol
10-19-2012
idk, your looks pretty good compared to mine.
10-19-2012
Holy shieett! You're right lol you really let that sucker go.
