    This is the motor mount on my 06 GP GT - As you can see the motor mount to motor bracket different and has much tighter clearances for the bolts to the motor mount red circles - I wasn't even able to get an end wrench in there.

    So when you reach the point on an 04+ where you're stumped follow these. I may have gotten carried away on the detail, and sorry for the lack of step by step pictures. But this is in addition to the existing how-to it is not a complete how-to.

    First Remove the locking nuts connecting the motor mount to the cradle.

    Note for removing the old mount i removed the bracket from the motor before releasing the motor mount from the cradle - this is very bad for the threads on the horizontal bolt connecting the bracket to the motor.

    Then Apply enough pressure to make the motor mount come free from the cradle.

    Then remove the nuts circled in yellow to drop the bracket off the motor.

    You now have clearance to remove the nuts from the top of the motor mount that connects the bracket, i did this after removing the motor mount from the car, which requires jacking the motor up for more clearance.

    Re-assembly with ZZP Poly Motor mount - The motor mount is bigger and caused a clearance issue with the rear bolt that mounts the bracket to the motor while the bracket is torqued down onto the motor mount.

    So In order to get the assembly back into the motor with a zzp poly motor mount(without taking a chunk out of it)

    Place the motor mount without the bracket into the cradle

    Then place the bracket over the studs for the motor mount and barely thread the nuts on.

    Loosely put the vertical bolts attaching the bracket to the motor in.

    Fully tighten the nuts to tighten the bracket to the motor mount - I had to get a 15mm Bent end wrench for clearance - my straight 15 would hit the boot and didnt have enough clearance to torque it.

    Mostly tighten the vertical bolts from the bracket to the motor

    Adjust jack height to align center hole put the center horizontal bolt into connect the bracket - I had mine on a floor jack and had to pull the floorjack to move the motor trans forward to get alignment.

    Fully torque down all the bracket bolts - i had to tighten the rear one with an open end wrench, a thin closed wrench may get onto it though.

    Lower the engine all the way

    Put the nuts onto the cradle / motor and torque them down.
