yea.. I was going to attempt to install my RRM solid motor mounts, but laying under there with the car 4 inches off my chest and all the extra turbo piping and wastegate in the way of the front one.. I decided just to get them professionally installed instead of going thru the hastle. They are going in next week.

Can someone point me in the right direction in how to get that rear motor mount out. I am replacing my mounts with the one from Deyeme and I got the front one done without a problem but the rear one is fighting me.

Thanks in advance.

No good tips. That ****er will fight you. Just gotta wiggle and pray and stuff.

I'll go light a candle for you.

to get it out i suggest removing the intake and you are going to have to remove the bracket it mounts to the engine on. Also LOTS of penetrating oil.

Well the fight has ended. After crushing two fingers, it is off to the mechanics to have this last mount done.

I did my mounts recently, they went in with a little elbow grease, not to bad IMO. JUst had to figure out how to get the bolts at the proper angles to install. A racheting closed end wrench was my saviour for that install!
