Is it hard to do engine mounts on a 4x4 sapph? Are there any nacks to make things easier? Going to replace the standard mounts with vibratechninc ones and i'd like to get as much info before i start.

I think the hard part is to get the old ones out as they sit in a cup and it can be hard to raise the engine high enough for them to clear?

If you have the right tools you could cut the old bolts off with a grinder, so you dont have to jack the engine up that far. Then just get the old ones out of its holder.

To get the Vibras in place you could then unscrew the bolt that goes through them, slide the mount in place, fasten them and then screw the bolt in from underneath. Im not shure if this is the recommended way or not but it worked for me.

thats how i did mine too, but mine jacked up enough so i didn't have to cut the old mounts.
