i just replaced mine the other day......not real hard to do,if you have some half decent tools you can do it.......
i used a 16" extension with a universal to undo the two bolts holding the bracket that mounts to moter ........took the bracet out and changed the mounts on it with it out..........
you will need a good jack and if you can get two jacks it'll go easier(i needed two for tilting the moter back and forth)
as for getting them out ,it was actually easier on the passenger side...........i have equal lenth headers and could only tilt moter from side to side so much .........all i had to do was take the oil filter out to get the driver side out ........
when jacking up the moter keep an eye out at the fire wall ,watch your heater hoses and your map sencor.......i also had to unfasten the radiator shroud to lift moter high enough
good luck
