your lucky i just did this last week



undo the stock mounts. jack up the motor, and slide the new ones in and bolt them down, finger tight. drop the motor back down and tight all the way down. and your done

yeah put a jaques under the bellhousing if the tranny and unbolt the mounts and lift motor



it might be easiest to do one side at a time?

well i undid the tranny mount raise the motor. Slid both the mounts out and new ones in.



Now i got the passenger side to sit right, but the driver side won't slide in. ****.



I gave up, the leafs game is on.
