3.0 Engine Mount/Motor Mount Replacement both sides?
So it appears there are 2 motor mounts. A left and right side.
Anyone have experience replacing these?
I've already done the snub mount in front for driveline shock but my motor mounts have too much play to let them go unoticed. So this should do the trick.
I have the Bentley repair manual, but it has no details on replacing this part. Is it easy?
The snub mount was medium, as I had to put front of car in "service position" to get that one which required taking off the front bumper etc. Took a while to complete.
The motor mounts simple?

The motor mounts are easy to get out, but its a process. You need to use a jack and a wood block so you can hold up the motor from the oil pan while you un-bolt the motor mount and subframe. The top bolt of the motor mount you have to use a super small 13mm wrench, you may scrape your arms getting your hands up there.
To get the mount out you need to take that huge aluminum bracket out (do this one side at a time! or you could mess up the alignment) There will be either 18 or 21mm bolts, then a 13mm for the bottom motor mount bolt. They should slide right out after the aluminum bracket is loose. You can also take the sway bar loose and let it hang down if it makes it easier for you.
