I just got done with this and it's not NEARLY as bad as I thought with the mount out and the engine shock. Do be certain to remove the mount and shock, it'll be a breeze then. I think I spent around 90min start to finish after spending 20min looking for my damned allen sockets.

My threads all came off fine with some PB soaking and a good sized wrench.

This is something that we call can do easily and it's smart, I spent only $110 for my OE hoses plus the motor mounts. I let these go for way too long, confidence just went up a BIG notch with them done. If you're doing the hoses, do new mounts...
