They arn't hard. I did mine w/o a jack on the motor too. But have one handy just in case. For the lower a rubber mallet or hammer and pry bar and sockets and the upper you need sockets.
- jack the car
- with a piece of wood secure the motor
- take the old mount out and shoe horn the new one in.

You'll have a little more trouble with the lower one depending on the manufacture of the mount and the top one is almost an un bolt and re bolt except securing the motor in place.

you said secure the motor with a piece of wood, i presume the motor goes back or forth when your remove the upper mount. So where do i secure and put the piece of wood ? <br>

I have the upper mount in and the lower mount ordered. Put the wood in between the jack and the oil pan, take the pressure off the mount and undo the bolts, pull it out and then just reverse everything. Mine took about 3 min's total to do with an air ratchet. <br>
