I just finished this. I bought the regular mounts from Eeuro and the bushing extraction tool. The tool broke. So I had to go to a machine shop. The closest regular one couldn't get to it. So I took it to a great shop I use and they "fit it in" when they had time.

Anyway, quasimotors.com has a procedure write up. I use that. I've done enough work that I'm starting to know my way around.

One note. I did other mounts, too and so the engine had shifted a bit. I had a lot of trouble getting the top of the engine back so I could line up the torque arms. Another person would work good. There was no good way to pry. Bottle jack didn't work well. I ended up using a very big C-clamp on the "H" part of the top-torque arm and on the frontside of the engine arm bushing and slowly pulled it together it worked PERFECT! Then I used another C-clamp to close the "forks" of the top-torque arm so that I could start the threads for the nut. If I ever have to do it again I will remember that trick.

Also, when I replaced my clutch last summer I had one bolt that I could never find where it went. Last night I was putting the alternator back on and I had trouble light on it and I looked past it and saw a hole in the engine side. I knew instantly that was where that extra bolt went. Another 10 minutes wasted while I found the bolt again. :-) Fixed a loose fog light and also a broken winshield washer hose while I was in there.
