It took me a day or two to realize that I could remove the bracket - I initially thought that it was part of the engine block. The top motor mounts are really hard - unless you have the SAAB bushing tool you might want your indie to do that for you. If you do both of the top bushings yourself and you don't have the SAAB bushing tool and you have access to a machine shop, specifically a hydraulic press - this is what you do:
- take off the dogbone (bushing mount)
- remove the fender liner (this is already off though?)
- remove A/C and serpentine belt
- free up the PS fluid reservoir
- unbolt the PS pump (bunch of bolts - even one through the pulley wheel)
- when you unbolt this pump you'll have the mounting arm almost free - the only one bolt still holding the arm on is the one (or is it two) that go into the engine block - these are actually the most obvoius when you start.
Then with both mounting pieces removed find appropriately sized metal stock and use the hydraulic press to push the old bushings out and press the new ones in. This is the distinct advantage to replacing OEM bushings with Poly ones - the poly ones come in two pieces - all you hav to do to renew then is pull the old one out (with a hacksaw or the like) and then push the new one in with your fingers - much much easier than removing all that hardware as described above.
I did this (OEM not poly) in November - send me an email if you're stuck
