Like others I just did this job on my 97. I have a spare "dogbone" off of my junked 90 9000T so I took that one to work and used a hydraulic press. The mount on the motor was kind of a pain to get the old one out and an even bigger pain getting the new one in. The old mount had the aluminum shell and the new ones had the steel shells. I had a "tool" made at work but the steel shells were so hard to press in that I stripped the threads out of the 3/8" nut used for the tool three times and stripped the threaded rod twice. I finally switched to grade 5 bolts and coupling nuts and that worked. I also broke the nipple off on the PCV valve while trying to get the new shell in. Next time I will use a rubber factory mount in the back and the two piece poly mount in the front.
