Just changed out the front rubber/metal cylindrical mount in my box yesterday. Getting ready to install the engine after a complete rebuild. If you do not have access to a press, I'd suggest buying the entire aluminum mount with the insert already in it if you are going back to the stock rubber mount. I replaced just the rubber / metal cylinder using a hacksaw (removal - easy) and for installation, a large clamp, 2 1/2 PVC conduit reducer, 3 pound sledge hammer, and a machinist vice as a press. I broke the clamp, the PVC reducer, and the vice. The sledge hammer survived. My back is still sore. If I can manage to upload the photos I'll post them on the DIY section, only this is a DDIY (Don't do it yourself). If I were to do it again, I'd buy the entire mount assembly, and just bolt it in.
