What is the Best way to change motor mounts and transmission mounts?

Can i lift the engine from the metal loop at the front of the intake mani, just looking for ways you guys do it. Any response is appreciated!!

Yes, you can use the loop at the front to lift the engine. Might be easier to simply jack with a block of wood underneath the oil pan though. Keep an eye on the engine near the firewall. I'd also remove the fan.

Taking the fan off will help clear rad. and shroud correct?

[Hick]

yeah. also watch the PS lines.

Ok, I am going to use a cherry picker and jack from underneath

how weird! isnt that what me and curt both said to do from the beginning? odd...

/\ I was originally only going to jack it, I was not sure If a hook would fit in that metal loop

[smonkbmw]

a section of chain and a snap ring (i think thats what they are called) work wonders.

Just use a hydraulic jack and a block of wood under the oil pan. easy as pie. Don't forget to have the hood open. Ask me how i know.
