Hi-- I am wanting to replace the mounts. Is this a simple matter of jacking up the motor allowing enough room to remove the old and replacing with the new--or does the engine bracket need to be removed.
any advice would be appreciated.

G'day Wishy90, how'd you go, did you replace the mounts? I am about to undertake the job myself and jacking the engine under the sump, even with a block of wood, scares me a bit. I have visions of the engine falling and smashing into the radiator bizo. Be really interested how you went. Cheers.
