    Replacing the passenger side engine mount took about 2 hours to complete.

    Removing the wipers and cowl gave access to the washer bottle and brake reservoir - the washer bottle drains itself so I put in bucket to recover the antifreeze fluid. The brake reservoir is moved to the side.

    There are 2 nuts that you need a long extension to remove them from underneath the car. I did these first
    I also removed the headlight to get line of sight to get the mount out. It would not budge from the engine side but was free on the car side of the mount. I had to lift the engine a few more inches to let the studs slide up.

    The engine has stopped shaking on start/stop cycles.

    Next are the transaxle and torque mounts

    To lift the engine a few inches, did you undo other mounts to allow freedom of movement? I'm having trouble freeing the RHS mount from both sides - car side as well as engine side.
