If you are stuck, give me a shout and I should be able to help you. The mounts on the diesel are not that hard to change, probably the hardest is the gearbox end - because of the boys that have to come off for access. Regards Chris

Now "we" all know this is not true. But it is perfectly reasonable for a competent mechanic to refer to a haynes book to check a parts location. After all I feel I am a fully competent mechanic, but when I replaced the bearings in the gearbox on my wifes car I still looked in the manual to see where some things were routed/located.

A top mount is a relatively easy job, providing you have spring compressors (as well as the confidence to use them lol) decent socket set and sockets, as well as some plus gas or other penetrating fluid. If nothing is stuck too fast, it should not take more than an hour taking your time to change each one. You dont even have to compress the spring that tight either, just enough to release its tension on the mount. Sent from my SM-A600FN using Tapatalk

Just re-reading the original post, if it is the hydro mount, safe yourself a lot of effort and contact me, I have the proper tool, rather than using a hammer and punch etc.
