Cool!
Youve already done the hard part then. The front MM is really easy. You do 
need to remove the starter but its a piece of cake. The fromt MM falls right 
out after the starter is removed. 

The rubber mount is pressed in. (By hand.) so you may need to spray in some 
lub to get it loosened up. twist on it a few times to get it started, should 
come right off. Sometimes if you simply rotate the (old) front mount it will 
last a little longer for you. Mine was completely wasted. I got a better 
mount from Tetonics when I bought my SS system. I really liked how it firmed 
up the feel of the motor. 

Everybody complains about he passenger mount. I thought it was easy too but I 
think it depends on the car. Some cars dont like to have surgery performed. 
(You can tell because they're the ones that eat tools!) 
Glad I could help!
