I have no idea; I'm not there... Depends on the angle... I don't know which way he had to take it out... I never experienced that before... Mine come right out. I may have had to pry the engine away from the body a hair or 2, but nothing that would constitute removal of the motor mount... I'm trying to remember what else was there... Maybe an a/c line??? I'm gonna check the factory service manual and see how it says to remove it...
