Franco,

Dave is right!! - I just changed my engine mounts the hard way.... Jacked up engine - no room to remove mounts - had my cross member on axel stands so tried to take off mounting arms - the one on the left was piss easy - but the one on the right was a right c*nt! I ended up dropping all the oil and coolant, and removing the oil cooler to get the right mounting arm off...... supposed 2hour job took a week - beacuse I had to order neew seals / oil / filter / etc....

Never mind it needed an oil change!

Actually had some advice from Damo and Dave, but it was a bit late by then.
