Default DIY engine mount

OK I have replaced the dogbone and will attempt to replace also the front mount.
I searched a lot of forums and discovered that I shall need a 17 mm socket and need to jack up the oil pan.
Out of the three bolts one has to be removed from underneath and two from the top.
Do I need to put the car on a ramp , remove the bolt from underneath first , then put the car back on level, place a jack under the oil pan and remove the other two?.
(Oh I forgot that I should remove the center bolt as well)
Is there any tip in doing this? What is the torque specification?
Are the bolts hard to break loose?
appreciate any help
Thanks

Cool

Just stick a block of wood on a jack & bring the jack up to the oil pan. Push the engine up a 1/4" so you've got the weight off the front mount.

Then take the mount off.



As always, the 1994 Toyota Camry Repair Manual.

Thanks for the picture,
So I simply jack up the oil pan by a tad and then remove the bolts. But there is one bolt that has to be remove from below, Should I remove it first while the car is on a ramp ?
My is a 93 es V6 do you think I should change the engine mount shork absorber? How can you tell the absorber is bad?
when I remove the bolts do I need and extentions, or break bar.
when I replace the mount what are the torgue spec?
appreciate much
Thanks

Question

Is this the same concept for the 97 ES300? Or is there something different that needs to be done. Does anyone know the p/n's for the mounts and the cheapest place to get them?
