Record thanks to all information on the forums which guides me to complete this job

a) Jack up and support car on stands on firm solid ground
I also remove front rims and the belly pan for better access, since i am also doing other bits undercarriage.

b) Need to support and raise engine, so i make a piece of wood with a hole to clear the oil sump plug. This is not a recommended method but i have no access to a proper equipment.
2. Jack and support wood to raise engine to replace engine mount - 270909.JPG

c) This is how i did it. At this stage, just gently support it without raising any further as the engine mounts are still intact

d) Now loosen the top mount screw on the right side. This can be done easily with a long extension rod and a UJ socket driver.
3. unscrew right engine mount top bracket using UJ extension - 270909.JPG

e) Then loosen the one on the left side. This do not require a long extension, but a short one works better. Removing the nut can be done easier with bare hand and a socket.

f) Then loosen and remove all nuts and screws which secures the lower bracket to the car body. Do not remove the lower mounting screw to the lower bracket.

k) To remove the mount from the lower bracket, i screw it on a piece of wood to have a better grip. Well, maybe a vice is a better solution, but i don't have one

For refitting, just do the reverse.
