yeah it is a bithc to replace, a very tight area. i suggest you take your time and pick up some swivel socket links. it'll make the job alittle easier.

Yeah, it's an annoyance, but once you've done it you'll be able to do it again in about 30 minutes Expect 2 hours the first go-round.

I tried looking at the best way to do it, would you guys hit it from the underside or from the top?

I myself have to replace a rear engine mount since my driver side was broken, i decided to buy a whole set of Innovative Steel mounts. The driver side and passenger side mounts were a breeze, and now im stumped at the approach for the rear engine mount, because i had JUST dropped in my D15B, and the mount broke soon after, and i really dont want to pull her out again.

Has anyone done it before? (DIY maybe? :D )
