This is an easy for the diy’er, approx time to complete should be less than an hour.

Forum limits only 4 pictures with the thread.. hhmm.. MAD


View from top, there’re 5 bolts, 1 nut which will need to be remove. The most challenging bolt to remove would be the bolt on the mount right below the exhaust as shown on the mount upper left on the pix. You would need to be patience and use a swivel ratchet.

The side view on mount that attached to the motor another 3 bolts

First step was to jack up the car and use the jack with a piece of wood to hold up the motor firmly. I then remove the vacuum hose from the mount.

Then remove the bolts/nut on the motor mount, then 1 bolt on the mount bracket that attached to the motor, then under the car to remove the remaining 2 bolts on the bracket.
(NOTE: It doesn't has to be in this sequence, however ways you find it easy)

Here a pix comparison, I didn’t see the leak when it was on the car, but when removed, the bolt stem that attached to the mount was crack which caused fluid to leak when I tilted the mount on the side.

Of course, install would be in reverse order.
