Default Engine mount help!

Been working on putting in UUC mounts since this morning. Stock driver's side mount is being stubborn. Engine is fully jacked up, cat removed completely, but I still don't have enough clearance to pull the mount out. Do I have to remove the headers too?

A ha! Hadn't removed the subframe bolt, that'll probably give me the clearance I need. Big thanks, those videos helped a ton

Sure, NP. I did my mounts today too. I pulled off the drivers and got slimed square in the face with the crap oozing out of my drivers motor mount. Both were broken actually. In fact, the drivers was so bad, it was like a pumpkin and the top piece that broke off just moved around like the top to a pumpkin.
