I'm surprised you are having a problem getting these in and not the old ones out. I had to lower my sub-frame to get the old motor mounts out. The creative steel grey poly were easy to get back in.
The passenger side will require you to remove the starter and cat if your on stock mani's. If you have headers, you will have to remove the header.
Lowering the sub-frame:
You have four each bolts holding the sub-frame to the chassis of the car. Two in from and four on the aft side. Make sure if you do this that you unbolt the steering rack from the sub-frame first otherwise you risk damaging it. It will attempt to hold up the sub-frame after you loosen the bolts due to the steering linkage attachment. I just placed a jack underneath the sub-frame to prevent it from dropping all the way. Loosened the bolts without removing them until i had enough room.

right now i have the trans out and the entire exhaust off because im doing some other mods so getting to the mounts is no problem.
the old one came right out and was broke! i think i just need another hand to pry the motor over a bit
