    A couple things to add to this thread, potentially for the 04+ guys.

    First, instead of wood, i use a hockey puck and placed it on either of the 2 black brackets coming off the oil pan. Choose the bracket on the side of the motor you need to lift.

    As far as i could tell you HAVE to have the offset 15mm wrench to get the motor mount done. The best i could do was about 1/8 or a 1/16th of a turn per bite, there's just no way to get another wrench on there. ALSO, the metal half moon opening above the forward nut was casted such that i couldn't get my wrench on the nut. I had to dremel out the half moon opening to get some additional space to get the wrench on.

    Anther item of note was that i didn't like how hard I had to jack the engine to get either side up and the mount out. I'm not sure what was taking the stress but hopefully just the other mount :/

    This was one of the easier jobs I've completed so don't be too intimated by it. You must be patient. All said and done, the old mounts looked fine and likely didn't need to be replaced. Try to visually inspect yours before assuming they are bad because of mileage - I'm at 100k.

    Edit: For sale - used motor mount and transmission mount
