It won't fit. Raise until you can get it in there. Put the top bolt in finger tight. Do the same for the other side. Start the lower bolts and slowly lower engine and make sure the mounts seat onto the cross member.

OK:
* Loosen both 17mm top bolts [one per mount]
* Remove top bolt from the mount I am working on
* Remove both bottom (17mm?) bolts [one per mount]
* Raise engine until old mount(s) can be pulled out
* Raise engine further to install new mounts
* Replace top bolts and hand-tighten
* Thread lower bolts through cross member and into bottom of new mounts
* Lower engine, assuring proper mount seat into cross member
* Tighten upper and lower bolts
//done
I will also be replacing my steering damper while the car is on the jacks. Any precautions?
