The rear mount can be a bitch. Try jacking the motor up while that mount is unbolted/loose. I've seen a friend do it that way. I didn't installl mine, cause of that. Lots of swearing was involved. But other than that, make sure you don't cross thread the bolts that hold the front two mounts in place, or when you go get your timing belt replaced and they can't replace the AC belt cause they can't get that mount loose.........man that was dumb. Don't ask me how I know that ****..........

lol i wuz expecting the lube answers..lol

but yea i tried to put them in on Sat. but i came across a problem. the motor mount bolts for the bottom front mounts for sum reason they didnt come off the stock rubber mount. i got the stock front bottom driver side mount it-self off but the bolt that goes thru the mount for sum reason i couldnt figure out how to get it off the mount. like the bolt has a nut on the end of the bolt but i couldnt get it off. idk i never done mounts b4 so i wasnt sure. if any one has anything on that lemme kno please cuz the poly inserts were easy. but the bolt wuz confusing. idk its hard to explain. if anyone knows wut im talking about just lemme kno how to get that thing off cuz its a pain in the ***.lol n i didnt even bother with the back mount cuz i woulda ened up shooting myself.lol but yea jus sumone hit me back on that please. thnks everyone for the imput so far.

Thats the same thing that happened to me, except I broke that "nut" completely free, and now the bolt just spins.

damn yea thats what i was afraid of doing.. so then should i just get the motor mount bolts from honda or jus have them do it cuz there charging me $405 for all of them but thats cuz "the laber rates went up" but w/e. nuthin i can do about it.

also. i could reai use sum advice on how to get my SI to pass inspection. its got a JDM ITR motor and tranny in it and i have the SI ecu rinning it but will soon have the Type R ecu running it(OBD2B to OBD2A adaptor issues) but once i get it runing i want to kno any other issues to expect. im probably gonna post a seperate post on that. but thanks for the imput. if u have any more please feel free to leave more. thanks.
