I read a few of the how too's and here is what I did.

1) disconnect the throttle linkage from firewall.

2) Pull 2 clips from Fan Shroud.

3) Remove the Air Filter unit for access to this sides engine mount.

4) remove lower nuts from bottom of engine shocks.

5) Remove Driver side engine shock completely.

6) Remove the 2 Bottom bolts from the Engine Mounts. Might be tite so use a strong arm with care.

7) Using long extensions remove the upper allen bolts that are visible from the engine compartment. I went ahead and got it done before I started jacking the engine up.

8) For the Passenger side Engine Mount I was able to use both an Allen wrench or a 3/8 socket wrench to remove the inner allen bolt.

9) Use floor jack and a 4x4 block about the same width as the oil pan to start lifting the engine away from the chassis. Just go slow and watch the passenger side engine shock. I used it to determine my lifting progress. I first got it just high enough to get the Heat Shields loose and out(Clean them if needed). Then try to get the passenger side Mount out . Trial and error to get it the engine just high enough so the mount can be pushed out and falls to the floor.

10) Replace the Passenger side and restore the Upper bolts.

11) For the driver side engine mount, I used a standard allen wrench to loosen and remove the engine side bolt. This is all done by feel with no sight possible.

12) Replace the driver side mount.

Unless I forgot something this is what I did . Lining up the bottom bolts was a little concerning but it finally went together.

I take my time as I hate being in a hurry and then screwing up something.
