how-to engine mounts

Post by WaveAction »

i've tried to search on here for engine mounts..or how-to engine mounts, but nothing came up..anyone here know or have seen a good or atleast decent how to into changing the engine mounts?? it looks simplie cause i can get to 2 of them from up top but i'd hate to have my engine fall or bend a mount when i take another out..wonder if it's easier to have a pro install?

I haven't put mine on, largely because I don't have a garage. No fun to work on a gravel surface. I'm waiting until I have to have my clutch replaced to do it then.However there are a couple threads I found that may be of some help:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... d?id=28006
