Motor Mount Replacement...My experience...

IT wasent bad at all but i also had a lift, multiple people to help.

But a 15 mm swival socket works wonders and a 2ft and 1 ft extention and some wrenches.

I also replaced with poly mounts its a fairly tight fit so you will or might have a little aligning to do(pulling and tugging). but that was just my own experience.

I highly suggest gettin a lift and having up to 4 hours for your first time with motor mounts

also a 3/8 drill bit and drill for popping the rivets on the mounts if the mounts are still stock.

need any more info just message me and ill help you

Re: Motor Mount Replacement...My experience...

i just did mine the other day, motor out but with the suspension still attached. a 3/8 x 12extension, a 3/8 swivel and a crows foot wrench end got the job done, you can wiggle everything up through the control arm pockets. only hazzard is 20 some-odd-year dirt in the eyes

Yea i got all 3 bolts on each side with just a 12in extentions and a 15mm swival socket and a regular wrench on the topside of the mount. oh and we have some really tacky stuff that i put in the socket to hold the nuts... never dropped one into the frame either.went smooth...
