How difficult is it to change the motor mounts ? I have read several clear tutorials, it doesn;t look too bad. What kind of problems I WILL encounter other than stuck bolts possibly ?
The tutorials say that you have to remove the oil filter / ring thingy..... mine is not leaking at the moment I am kind of nervous to touch it.... can I get away without removing that ?

The left side (drivers side) was cake, but the right side was kinda a pain cause ya you gotta get the oil filter mount assy off! The new seal is only like $2, but make sure you don't cross thread it back into the block!!!
Also tools needed are; BFPry bar, a good punch, heavy hammer, & a jack to hold the motor up of course... Also an extra set of hands is a must!
Hope it goes smooth for ya
