If you are replacing the motor mount at the same time you are regplacing the wp, there is no need for a universal joint. Once you lower the motor to replace the motor mount, you can get every wp bolt with a torque wrench.
Thats why the wp and motor mount replacement are so complimentary. To replace motor mount, its much easier to do so by diconnecting the two principal coolant hoses, which you will have to do if you replace the wp. And once you lower the motor the wp is a piece of cake with no need for fiddling with universal joints, etc.
Do them both atnthe same, oem motor mounts and wp are relatively cheap, so it makes sense to do them both while you are in there.
