It's not too bad to replace the mounts. Consider replacing the engine shocks and engine shock mounts while you are in there.

I bought the dieselgiant video on the subject and was very happy with the assistance that it provided me. Well worth the $$ in time savings and frustration savings to see someone do it first.

I changed the engine mounts, shocks, and shock mounts in one day. At the time it was the most complicated car repair job I had ever done, and it wasnt too bad.

Be prepared though, after replacing these mounts you may find that the idle may be rough from other things. But the mounts will help a lot.
