i am installing the upper mount insert later today. do i need to put a block under the engine for support? I have the Team forward motion install guide. Anything else i need?

I took my upper one out without supporting the engine at all, if you can't get it to line up during re-installation, then jack the engine up (the correct way please).

its not hard after you know how to do it...

use the dish soap.. after i got the cover off and the insert sitting in there i used a long extention and a small hammer to tap it into place... worked very good.

dish soap and a hammer worked for me. Just get it set in, then use the back of the hammer as a level and push it down. Went in like a charm.

Dish soap & elbow grease got my upper mount in there. Broke a ratchet tightening down the bolts though...

Upper was fairly easy for me, just had trouble lining up the bolt holes....there was barely any vibration. The next day in installed the lower mount, went smooth and theres where i got my vibration. Basically only at low rpms.

Top and bottom was easy. I helped install a lower mount on my friend car. it almost seem like the stock mount was longer than the new one. Man we had to push the engine to get the lower mount on.
