If I remember right, you have to pull the muffler and all it's crap(heat
shield etc.  that alone will make it a half a day's work or better.
whatever you do, replace them with German or OEM mounts.  I was forced to
replace mine with local FLAPS mounts made in Sri Lanka or Bangladesh or
wherever and they don't do the job well.
