The only way I can figure is that I need to remove the intake manifold to gain access to the motor mount. I need procedure and graphic picture of parts names.

Hi,

If you are referring to the one in the rear of the engine, the engine mount cross member needs removed to access it. This requires the engine to be supported via a chain/engine hoist.

Here are the directions I have for replacement. The attached pictures correlate with the directions. I have to be honest, it is somewhat vague, but does describe the correct process.

I just need enough room for the breaker bar to loosen the rubber bolt on the mount. I have already accessed the other three bolts. The link is AutoZone's instructions, however the picture will nor expand successfully. which the intake manifold was removed. There are several items that require removing. https://www.autozone.com/repairguides/626-1999-2001/Engine-Mechanical-Components/Intake-Manifold/_/P-0996b43f81b3cb43

NOTE: To remove the intake manifold, remove the fuel distributor, EGR pipe and EGR valve.
