Here is my guide for changing the offside engine mount, located near the washer fluid bottle.
Tools needed;
Trolley jack
Large block of wood
10mm socket
15mm socket
17mm socket
17mm spanner
Extension
Rachet
The mount in question is the one with the split rubber boot, it has also been highlighted with a large red circle.
Its extremly easy to replace, first of all spray all the nuts with some wd-40. Then whilst everything is still nice and tight, crack each nut off, only crack them off at this stage, do not remove them completely.
The red circle are 15mm nuts.
The yellow ones are 17mm nuts.
The blue one is a 10mm bolt.
Now remove the 10mm bolt and tuck it out the way, now get the trolley jack and the block of wood and support the sump before you take off the 17mm nuts.
Now remove the 17mm nuts, the longer threaded one may have to be done with an open ended spanner. Remove the bracket.
Now remove the 15mm nuts, then the mount will lift out and you can chuck it away.
Repeat the process in reverse for installing the new mount.
Nice new mount below,
Once removed you can see the damage,
And by the way, the oil inside the mount stains abosoloutly everything it touches, so be careful not to get it on paintwork etc
