Hey guys,anybody can tell me difficulty changing engine mounts? I have an 04 with almost 120k miles. Figured I begin changing some stuff out. I see the diagram and it looks like 4 bolts for each bracket and then remove the mount. But don't know exactly if in hard to reach spot or how many extensions needed. I'm trying to so this myself to save on money. I'm also going to be changing out the ball joints, LCA bushings and tranny mount. Ride should be significantly better after this refresh.

From what I gather they are not very easy. Independent Lexus shop is about $350 in labor for the two main mounts. The most important thing to remember is to not support the weight of the engine with the oil pan. This will damage the seals and you will develop oil leaks. The rear motor mount or transmission mount is very easy. Lower ball joints are too. Control arms bushes are not too hard but you need a press.
