Hey Finally getting to replacing mounts does anyone have a easy way to remove drivers side top mount bolt, I do not have air tools. Please help thanks.
 
I know this is an old thread, but wanted to post some info in case anyone else encounters this. I researched this, and could not find any good info. I ended up removing the battery, battery tray, power steering pump lines, disconnected engine ground wire, and removed the oil filter. Only then was able to to get a tool onto the top Driver side motor mount bolt.
To get the actual mount out, i used an engine hoist to lift the motor up by its formost hoist point. the whole job took about 3 hours
What a bitch.

Could the bracket at the motor have been removed more easily than trying to get to the top bolt? I think it is four bolts, not sure how accessible they are?
 
Yes, you could take the bracket off the side of the motor, but some of those 4 bolts holding it on would be very difficult to reach. the bottom rear one is directly blocked by transmission cooler lines.
