Consider replacing the waterpump, if it has significant miles on it, like 75k, while you are replacing the mount. To get at the mount its much easier if the main coolant hoses are disconnected (which you have to do if you replace the pump) and once the motor mount is out, replacing the pump is an absolute piece of cake. Easy to clean the mating surface on the block and torque all the pump bolts with a torque wrench.

When you replace the mount, be sure to torque the studs that go into the frame to the proper torque. If they are loose, you will strip the threads in the frame when you tighten the nuts on the studs and you will be in a world of ********************.
