Default How to check right (passager) side engine mount in 20vQ?

I know my left side looks pretty bad but because of the cost of those items, I don't want to change both side if not necessery.

thanks

Default Do the whole shot. It isn't that hard to do. The passenger side engine mount...

is the only b-tch to do.

Default hold engine that's it, is the right side comes out down or up.....

to be frankly honest with you, this is a thing i have never done before, I want to be sure on the procedure since we are talking about the engine here, should i do engine and tranny at same time or is it impossible queston of engine stability and holding potential?

Default The rear ones you can do in your sleep. Just support the diff....

with a good jack. The front ones are a little more involved.
The driver side one can come out easy using a good jack
to hold the engine. Now the passenger side one is more
difficult If you are not sure, take it to a mechanic and have it done.

Default Oh it comes down alright but getting access to the nut to get it out is another story....

take a look and see. When I did mine , I had to have a friend of mine who owns a machine shop custom make a wrench for me.
