I tried once before and bailed out. This time Vas encouraged me and gave some tips. Read the Mad Russian thread online (no relation to Vas that I know of :). There are four bolts to remove the cross-brace then you have pretty easy access to the mounts. Only took me about 30 min. Be sure to have new top and bottom nuts on hand. You also might want to have 4 new bolts for the cross bar as mine were pretty rusty (but I'm sure your car is much cleaner and would be fine).

You just have to loosen the top nut with a 13mm after the bar is out of the way. The mounts slide right out.

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous

Nice werk

Good deal. Mine were very pliable.

Good stuff, I need to do this as well as my motor mounts. I inspected mine yesterday and they look pretty worn.

Motor mounts are on my to do list too... not really looking forward to it.

Yeah. I hope maybe Vas can help me this weekend. I was not successful on my first attempt.
