The front motor mount is very east to work on. It's just 3 bolts and is located right in front and on the cross bar. Depending on skill and how your stock hardware is determines how long it will take. Typically we see 20-60 minute install times from our customers.

We do have a rear mount, but it has not been released yet. We are making a change to the bushing size and durameter to ensure the least amount of vibration but with the firmest hold. There is no ETA at this time.

How do you install these?? Do you have to support the engine with a cherry picker and then unbolt it? (sorry never installed a motor mount or insert before so I am kind of clueless in this area)

You acually dont have to support the motor at all, but a jack stand and some boards wont hurt.

Well on the front motor mount I wouldn't recommend a jack stand.. 1 because you won't be able to fit it under the engine without the car jacked up, and 2 because when the engine is in neutral position, there's no tension at all on the front mount (i.e. it isn't weight bearing) so it's best to not even jack up the car to install the front mount.

 

[mazdaspeed777]

Sweet, that doesn't sound to hard. Just time consuming.

 

[Kansei]

The front mount? Nah, no way. 30-60 minutes TOPS. No need to even jack the car up! 3 bolts

I installed my awr front mount in around 30 min and I didnt use a jack or anythign other then the toosl required to break the bolts loose!

yeah, I've never done this before and it took 1 hour all by myself with a 17mm deep socket, ratchet, and breaker bar. Just takes a little muscle for all three bolts. The only hard part was getting the washers to fit as well as the mount in between the brackets.

 

[Yaggie1]

I didn't even put the washers in with mine. I tried to get em in but man that would have been a seriously tight fit. Hopefully I really didn't need them.......... Seems fine so far. Install is cake. Won't find too many easier installs.......
