Volks, I have a quick straight forward one. How hard is it for one normal
male 35-40 Average Income and ambitions to replace the engine mounts on an
85 Weekender (with 2.1 engine)?

I just discovered that my coolant return line is chafed and dripping
coolant because my engine swings wildly and one of my belts gnaws at the
hose. My engine mounts are pretty worn out and I think this is what's
causing the excessive movement.

Is it feasible for one man and a jack to be able to replace the
mounts?

Thanks in advanced for your wisdom,

Jorge

'85 Weekender
