I've heard there still a **** on a V6. They're in a really, tight, odd position, but then again I could have heard wrong and it could be a piece of cake.

Get a trolley jack and Put abit of wood under the sump so it spreads the load out and jack it just enough too just too take the weight of the mount and you should be able too get them out its not oo hard at all and i own a V8 too. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

both are easy v6 is harder (i'm a holden mechanic) use short spanners for the top bolts and undo them from underneath if there too tight you can use a large screw driver or a small pry bar to lever the spanner if you strip the top bolt on the a/c compressor side you need to undo the a/c compressor (it's like 4 bolts) so you can get a singe hex socket from the top then jack the sh*t out of the motor then you should be able to rermove the engine mounts, make sure the car in in neutral because you will never get the new mounts in we use to do them about 30min but if it's your first set i would give you like 4 hours+ (they can be a bitch)

Im also a mechanic, I found it easier to undo the 2 bolts on each mount under the car first. then undo the a/c compressor and then undo the compressor/engine mount bracket (3 bolts). then undo the other side mount bolts. jack the engine up (using wood between jack and sump) pull the RH engine mount out and LH mount and bracket out. then replace. dont do any bolts up until you align the mounts properly.

hoe long does it take to do it that way, maybe easier but that would take heaps longer to carry out
