How much of a pita is it to change the front motor mount by the radiator? I already got them delivered and I'm debating whether or not I should do it myself. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to do it twice since I have two 4.0 Aurora's. On the bright side, I have to admit I'm having a lot of fun using my electric ratchet and my new electric impact driver. I actually changed my power steering high pressure line in about an hour and a half. And that's only because 1 10mm nut was a pain in the ass to get off and then I had to keep stopping to drink beer LOL

Well it depends on what year Aurora you drive (or what engine) I could say it was pretty easy on the Classic Aurora 4.0. The front (right) motor mount was actually the easiest one. Procedure is probably pretty much the same all years. Wooden block on your jack to distribute the pressure better, jack up the engine slightly on the edge of the oil pan to take pressure off the bolts/mount, unbolt mount and remove.

I've got a 2001 and a 2003 4.0 so they're both northstar second Gens. Is there a write up for this particular job? I've got an aurora the same color as yours Paul and the other one is steel blue.

The left (rear) mount on mine requires the removal of the sway bar and two bolts on the power steering rack but still not as bad as the 2G haha
