Well, that job was more or less prety simple. I changed both motor mounts and the trany mount in less than 2 hours. It was relitively straight forward job. I had two 14 year old boys assisting as tool fetchers, droplight positioners and socket changers. One of them worked the floor jack for me. He raised and lower the engine as I needed. This is not a job to be scared of for someone who has moderate mechanical skills, some PBBlaster, four jack stands, metric tools, a floor jack, a breaker bar, and a bench vise. I recommend having a bench vise handy because you take off the motor mounts and thier various engine mounting brackets (both on the drivers side and one on the pass side). Once off, you need something to clamp down on the bracket as you remove the nuts on the motor mounts. A bench vice comes in real handy. Both mounts were the originals and very squishy. The one by the oil filter was the squishyist.
My thanks to Chris Delano at IPD for the advice on how to do this over the phone about six months ago when I ordered them. My thanks to the brickboard and its members for all kinds of good brick advice.
PS - I did the entire job in latex surgical gloves - I bought a box of 100 for $10. My hands are nice and clean still. - My arms, well they are still grungy past where the gloves stopped.
