Ok, since I gotta be doing this soon, it's racking my brain on how to do this.

Now, I notice in the diagram I got there is a top plate on the mount itself that bolts to the engine. Now do I just un-bolt that and then the mount, or is it another method? Thanks in advance...

You are going to want to jack the engine up in a manner that will remove the load from that bracket. I would start by taking the mount loose from the frame, then the bracket from the block. I have never done one, but I assume, judging by that diagram, that this would be the most effective method.

According to my info, you remove the mount to engine bracket NUTS, and then slightly raise the engine up with a hoist (or you could use a jack and piece of wood). Then you can remove the mount.

I definitely concur with Brando. I remember seeing my mechanic lift my car on the hoist to do mine. He had a special worm gear type of pillar that he placed along with a couple of pieces of wood wedged in between to support the right side of the engine.

Why don't you ask your Dad if he knows someone who would let you borrow their hoist just to get that done? I'm sure your Dad has a lot of connections.

Me and him went our separate ways, thats all I'm saying. :confused:

So now, it's up to me to keep the car running by myself (well, not like I haven't before...)
