Default Engine mounts on 96

I've try to replace the mounts today, but failed at getting the driver side top bolt off.

PB blasted it, but even after 5 hours It would wanna go, passenger side with much less torque wasn't a problem.

I've also realized that the sticky was for pre-95 and "mostly" for 95 and up. I couldn't figure how to remove the camber bolt and was getting frustrated so decided to put everything back before I break something.

Is there an howto specific for UCF20???

Did the transmission mount, that was easy...

Here you go. When I changed mine I did not mess with the camber bolt I just dropped the cross member down and applied pressure to keep it down while my friend got that top nut.

Yeah that's the sticky I was referring to.

You didn't have to remove any other stuff to get the mount out/in on the driver side?

If that's the case I just need to find a better tool for that top nut. More torque and I would have broke the 18mm wrench I was using to extend the 17mm one on the driver side...

Something that helped me out quite a bit in my 95' was dropping the power steering rack. The rack bushings turned out to be in HORRIBLE shape, so i replaced them as well. It's not that bad of a job to do as it may sound. It'll make the engine mounts quite a bit easier with the additional working room.
