You could buy the mounts already in new brackets. Potterman used to press
mounts in core brackets but nobody ever sent in their cores which killed
that project. (Good job guys!) Otherwise you should just take the mounts
to a machine shop and have them press the mounts in for you. Its much
easier (read: hassle free) and should only cost a 5-10 bucks to have
done.

This is a great time to replace the timming belt and tensioner. Have fun!
