This is a job most can do with basic tools. I found it easiest to take off the mount and bracket from one side at a time and change the mount in the shop. I then bolted the assembly back in. There are some clearance issues. The biggest concern is safety. The car needs to be securely supported on jackstands and the engine held up so it won't slip and fall on your hands. Next time I'm going to make a support to go across the engine bay to support the engine from above in case my jack slips. Don't jack up the engine under the oil drain plug!!!

While you're under there, you should also change the tranmission mount, also easy. Do a search in the archives under "mounts". That and the Bentley manual were enough to show me how to do this job. Also I got rid of a lot of "judder" when I replaced my rear trailing arm bushings. That's a harder job.
