Nah, you just un-bolt the three allan bolts and it will fall out, but the engine will slightly move when its un-bolted so you just use a jack and a piece of wood to jack up the motor to align the bolt holes again.

Is this the snub mount we are talking about? I am about to change that out on mine. Hoping it will be that easy for me as well!

Ok so I changed it last week when I did all the passenger side control arms.
And not it wasn't hard, but it was a PITA!!!!
I un did the three bolts, and jacked up the motor and the part that holds on the mount dosent come out....
So I used some tools and cut/pushed the old mount out.
Then I had to jack the motor all the way up and then barley slid the new mount in (pushing it in at an angle with a small pry bar)
and then lower the motor just a little and at the same time moving the mount around until it fit on the stub end.

I would recomend check yours out, mine was falling out in pieces at less then 70K
And it had gotten so bad, that if you hit the gas to hard the back of the motor would acctully hit the fire wall very hard.
I thought that when we hit the gas and had the huge tumping, it was the control arms, since I had 5 of them shot.
Until I had the hood open and was reving the engine and to my horror I swear I saw the engine trying leap out of the car....

I should of taken a video of it....not kidding it was SCARRY!!!
