Engine Mount replacement...
For part of last night and early this morning i changed both engine mounts. I followed the directions from the write up on here. I'm sure many other people have done this but i wanted to tell everyone about my experience.
I spent about an hour trying to get the top passenger side nut off with no luck! Err! I could not get it from the bottom or top. So i had to take out the air box which was probaly a good idea since it was very dirty inside and it seems like my turbo boosts better now. That damn nuts was such a PITA. It would not come off even when it was loose. I had to turn it with a wrench the whole way.

Here is a picture of where the mount is with the air box out.

After getting that nut off everything was pretty easy. I did not have to take off the coolant tank. I just used a couple of extentions and a universal joint. The U joint is real handy through the whole process.

I want to thanks everyone that does write ups. I am newer DIYer but now i have done my engine mounts and my timing belt, water pump, ect.

I used a hydrolic jack and two 2x4. One going across right under the shroud for the snub mount then there was another 2x4 going to where the oil pan is. It made a T shape. It works out really well.
