Need to pull the engine, how to remove the engine mounts?
 
How in the heck do I get the motor mounts off!! I already broke two extension sockets..Is there a trick to it/ which bolts do I unbolt?

You should only have to take off the big nut that holds the engine mounts to the frame. The best way to get at them is to take the front wheels off. Go ahead and leave the mounts on the motor, that way, all you have to do to put it back in is stab one bolt into a hole on each side.

Oh, and just so you know, it's easier to pull up on the left side first and slide the right side out (there's an opening above the left motor mount hole, but none above the right side). Good luck!
