2003.5 MSP Motor Mounts replacement question

[Syonix]

I've noticed that all of my mounts got broken on a hard ride last weekend, they are the stock ones.. i'm at 110k miles.

I've got all 4 replacement on order.. is this something a novice can do or do i need to hire someone to help?

I've been looking all over for a DIY but i can't seem to find one ..

You guys have always come through, and i can't thank you enough for the money saved in the long run! This car is a commitment to constant work if you wish to keep it going after 100k miles, and i would be so screwed without you guys .. ;-) (kiss)

^ This about sums it up.

Pictures after install

Air tools work best, obviously. But having a swivel socket makes things run much smoother. If I remember correctly a 17mm socket is the size you need, and we attached a 1/2" swivel socket with a 1/2" extension to it, to loosen the 3 top bolts of the mount from over the top of the intake mani. Also removing the battery and battery trey gets you access to the side bolt, and this is where you will be removing the stock mount and putting in the new mount. Oh and one more thing, good luck removing the plastic harness bracket properly, It sits over the mount with two 10mm nuts.
