I finally got my motor in from HMO and got my car back but my stepbrother forgot to switch my motor mounts. I figured it'd be easier just to swap them myself instead of leaving my car with him another day. From what I read I just jack the motor up slightly and then remove the bolts/mounts. Just wondering how hard this task would be. It's on a del sol b16 Btw. Thanks.

Mounts are easy. Put a 2x4 under the oil pan, jack the engine up just enough to hold it up (you don't want to lift it, just remove pressure from the mounts), unbolt, replace, and move on to the next.

Do not skip the wood between your oil pan and jack!. Otherwise, you risk destroying your oil pan. I don't mean bending it, I mean actually destroying it.

Alright. Sounds simple enough I'm off the next two days so I might go ahead and tackle it. Any other tips?

Soak the **** out of all of your mounts in WD40 or whatever rust penetrant you prefer before going at the bolts. A stripped or sheared bolt will ruin your day.
