It took me almost the whole day to replaced the engine mount, and the two torque struts. It sounds easy enough, but the engine mount is hard to get out. You have to raise the engine up/down many times risking the AC lines, and water hoses to broke. The jack doesn't support the engine very well. It tilt to a side as you raised the engine up.

The aftermarket mounts might be more reliable than the OEM ones, but you get vibrations, and lot of noises. Not recommended.

I have been driving my car for over 3 weeks. The rubber part in the engine mount doesn't get any softer. It really degraded my car. You get lot of noises in the morning.
