    Default Is Changine engine mounts a big job?

    I've done a bit of a search but couldn't find any info. Got my extractors installed today, and the Y peice is rubbing under the floor when you stick the boot in down low. My best guess is both the engine mounts are shagged, i know atleats the passenger side is for sure. Is it a big job to replace these and anyone got any tips or how-to, before i attempt them. VR V8, this is for too.

    Had a look on ebay for some prices, couldnt find any. Anyone got a link to any or know how much the roughly cost.

    drivers side is an easy job, for the passenger side the aircon compressor needs its mounting bolts to be undone, then you will have to slide the compressor out of the way to gain access to the mount properly, otherwise your never going to get the bolts undone.

    aircon compressor is on the drivers side on a 5 litre. and to the OP, i have pacemakers and they rub on the passenger floor too, but i have twin cats, so no Y pipe
