Ok so I need to replace my motor mounts.This doesnt look too hard to do, however does anyone have any diagrams or anything showing the best way to take on this task?

Use an air gun...

Cracking those bolts by hand is a B!T*CH!!

Just get a piece of wood anda Floor Jack...supportthe motor by the oil pan.

Loosen the three bolts in the mounts, raise the motor, and replace the mounts....Then rebolt them to the proper torque.

In theory, it is easy. It is reaching and cracking the bolts that makes ita pain.

That is how I did it in my Fox...I am not sure if it is different in the SN95.

a wooden block under the pan is fine , remember your just lifting the motor....not the car

and btw, you need to remove the fan and shroud first, then ubolt the mounts, then raise it

and atip, use 'vert mounts if you don't wanna buy energy suspension poly mounts

All you need to lift the motor is like 4 or 5 inches....just enough to pull the old ones out, and slip the new ones in.

I did mine with the heads off so it was easy. I was actually able to stand inside the engine well and do it from the top with a socket wrench and a breaker bar. So if you plan on gutting your motor anytime soon, I would do it then
