LSX motor mounts

I was going to install my Sphoon motor mounts yersterday when I noticed the access to the motor mount bolts is restriced. My questions is do I have remove the lower control arms to access the motor mount nuts? It looks like I might, any tricks?

It's possible to get to the motor mount bolts, but it tricky. It helps to have two people, a nice selection of extensions, long pattern open end wrenches too. There are some access holes in the K-member to work from....just use a flashlight to see inside.

yep i used an open end wrench on most of them. on and when you put them on an easy way to get the nut started is to get yourself a extenable pen magnet and put the nut on it and gently thread the bolt on to the nut. it works i sware. i just did this last friday. ive only got 2 wires to do and swapping gas tanks.
