Default Motor mount replacement ?

How difficult is it to change a motor mount? My tuner noticed the motor canted slightly on the pass.side. He took a pry bar and was able to see that the pass. side was not connected (broke). He mentioned something about removing headers and other parts. Is all this necessary or is there an easier way? Thanks

I am not gonna lie man it is a big pain in the @$$ I just finished up a big project on my car and the mounts was one, even with no tranny in the car I still found it a pain. There is a great write up on it though and with lots keyword LOTS of time and patience you can make it happen.

you don't have to remove the headers butit makes it waaaay easier. also moving th alternator, compressor and starter will give you some extra room to work. i'm doing it right now and it's not really hard, just time consuming.
