First we need to know which mounts you are changing. Are you changing all of them or what?

I need info on the front tranny mount if you can. When i had my exedy put in they said it needed to be replaced and didn't bother telling me till after they put it all back together

Well 93weed_eater, it is easy to change. just get a jack and a block of wood, put the block of wood on thje jack and put it under the tranny, gentley put some lifting force on the tranny not much just enough to support the weight of the engine, then take the bolt off the mount that goes through the middle, then the two bolts that hold the mount to the car. Replace in the reverse order.

the left motor mount. i took off the bolt going through the motor mount
but the 2 holding the bracket wont budge. i used penetrating lube, heated the bolt and broke a crow bar it wont give!

Heating the bolt could have been the worst thing to do, never heat a bolt that won't budge the metal will only swell and cause it to get tighter. Now are you turning it the right way, don't get mad if you are I am just asking. Do you have any 1/2" drive sockets and a breaker bar around? I would use these if you have them. And what exactly were you doing with the crow bar? You need to use the breaker bar with a 1/2" drive socket, and if you still can't get it to move then slide a pipe over the end of the breaker bar for leverage. Also try putting pressure on the ratchet or breaker bar and then hitting it on the head with a hammer, don't hit it in the direction that you are turnning but rather directly at the bolt. This will help create a impact driver effect, sometimes thisd works really well. Good luck!
