yes the motor mount is a bit frustrating,unbolt the motor mount from the motor and jack your motor up a bit see if u cant squeeze it out.note there are 2 10mm bolts they are hard to get to u do not need to take them out to get the mount off.the reason they are hard to get to is because they are the water pump bolts and 2 holes were factory drilled for the heads of the bolts to just sit in there.goodluck i did it it wasnt fun:)
