Yes, this is easy to do.  It will take you about 2 hours, maybe 2 1/2.

All of the nuts on the mounts are 8mm.

The key is that you need to loosen the inner mounts from the top - remove the 8mm nuts.  On the outer mounts, remove the 10mm bolt going throug the bearer.  The bearer will then fall out (after you loosen the end bolts of course and the middle 8mm nut that attaches to the muffler heat shield.

Replace the inner mounts on the bearer.  Replace the outer mounts on the engine.

Replace in reverse order.

Hello,

I've never done this before. Can I just use a floor jack to support the
engine while I replace the mounts one-by-one? I'd also like to use new
bolts and nuts while I'm at it, but can't find specs in the Bentley.
Does anyone have this information? I'm hoping NAPA or Autozone will have
them. Any advice appreciated! Will post procedure and pictures after I
finish the job.

Thanks,
Matt
