Removal
µ 1. Remove the water pump pulley shield.
1 Detach the coolant expansion tank hose from the clip.
2 Remove the bolts.
3 Remove the shield.
µ Refer to corresponding illustration.
2. Install the special tools.
µ 3. Remove the ignition wires and retainer from the upper front engine support bracket and position it to one side.
µ 4. CAUTION:
Do not allow power steering fluid to come into contact with the drive belt. Damage to the belt may occur.
Disconnect the power steering pressure line from the power steering pump.
1 Remove the power steering pressure line bracket bolt.
2 Remove the ground strap.
3 Disconnect the power steering pressure line and position it to one side.
µ 5. Note:
Install new self-locking nuts.
Note:
Mark on the engine support bracket the position of the nuts.
Remove the upper front engine support bracket.
1 Remove and discard the nuts.
2 Remove the upper front engine support bracket.
µ 6. Remove the bolts and position the radiator coolant expansion tank to one side.
µ 7. Remove the three bolts and remove the upper front engine support insulator.
Installation
1. CAUTION:
If the upper front engine support insulator, front subframe, or the front engine support bracket has been removed, the engine and transaxle position must be realigned to the front subframe. Failure to realign the engine and transaxle may result in excessive driveline vibration.
Make sure correct alignment.
2. Raise and support the vehicle. For additional information, refer to «Section 100-02».
µ 3. Remove the bolts, the through bolt and remove the left-hand front engine support insulator.
µ 4. Replace the left-hand engine support insulator with special tool.
1 Install the special tool.
2 Install the bolts.
3 Install the through bolt and finger tighten.
µ 5. Remove the right-hand engine support insulator through bolt.
l Loosen the mounting bolts, but do not remove.
6. Lower the vehicle.
µ 7. Install the front engine support insulator.
µ 8. Install the radiator coolant expansion tank.
µ 9. Note:
The self-locking nuts must be replaced.
Note:
Make sure that the new nuts are aligned with the marks on the engine support bracket.
Install the upper front engine support bracket.
10. Remove the three bar engine support and universal lifting eye.
11. Raise and support the vehicle. For additional information, refer to «Section 100-02».
µ 12. Note:
Verify that the right-hand engine support insulator is centered in the transaxle bracket and in perfect front-to-rear alignment before tightening the through bolt or the mounting bolts.
Install the right-hand engine support insulator bolts.
l Install the insulator through bolt.
l Install the insulator mounting bolts.
µ 13. Note:
Verify that the left-hand engine support insulator is centered in the transaxle bracket and in perfect front-to-rear alignment before tightening the through bolt.
Replace the powertrain alignment gauge with the left-hand engine support insulator.
1 Install the through bolt.
2 Install the bolts.
µ 14. Install the power steering pressure line to the power steering pump.
1 Install the power steering pressure line.
2 Install power steering pressure line union.
3 Install the ground strap and bracket.
4 Install the bolt.
µ 15. Install the ignition wires and retainer onto the upper front engine support bracket studs.
µ 16. Install the water pump pulley shield.
1 Install the shield.
2 Install the bolts.
3 Attach the coolant expansion tank hose to the bracket.
17. Fill the power steering system. For additional information, refer to «Section 211-00».

ok i challenge anyone to try to follow that procedure with those special tools... right. what a waste of time.
all you need to do is get the front in the air on a couple of stands, jack the engine on the oilpan for support with a nice big board to prevent cracking, and then just get in an remove the bolts for either mount. puck and i swapped my front mount with the es insert in 10 minutes and we weren't even concentrating...
