the hardest part of the job for me, was drilling out the rivets off of the old motormounts.

Otherwise, it was pretty straightfoward. Just make sure you do one side at a time - replace one side completely before you start on the other.

YOu just have to jack the motor up, pull off the "clamshell" housing. THen drill it open, replace it with the new mounts, then bolt the clamshell back in the way it was. After its all bolted up, adjust the motor height for the other side (so there's enough slack to pull the long bolt out all the way), and repeat.

Its a lot easier than it sounds. Its just time consuming
