The motor mounts aren't that bad a job, although I do seem to remember
swearing a lot. Some of the nuts are in pretty tight quarters but they can
be reached withte right tool and enough patience. I think the trick is to
get both sides started before tightening either side. Since they go in at an
angle, when the engine is lined up directly over where it should be when
tightened down, the holes are no where near the top of the studs that have
to go in them.
