i know the motor mount replacement has been a issue that has been cover many times but i really need some help...

do i need a cherry picker to lift the engine to take off one of the mounts?
i need a 15mm socket with an extension + swivel?
when i remove the mounts i unbolt them from the cross member?

please anyone give me a few ideas on how to do this without messing with the a-arms.


and also... I just put in a rebuilt transmission and im afraid these bad mounts may eat up my tranny because the motor is sitting alittle sideways and down towards the passenger side. i still need to drive my car for now and wont be able to get mounts till about the 15th.

if this possible for this to happen?

 

You don't need a picker - the motor can be jacked from below. You'll want to remove the distributor cap and rotor button before jacking, as they tend to hit the firewall and break.
