I bet you'll plan on changing both at the same time on subsequent Motor Mount jobs. When they're both new, less wrestling is required.
Well, that one was a do-or-die parking lot job here at the apartment. Needed the mount changed so I could go pick up a new set of tires the following day, and had 2 hours of daylight to get the worst offender swapped out. I installed the passenger side mount about a week or two later.
Both mounts lasted from about late Febraury/early March of last year until November or so, and I had to replace them again - did them in pairs that time, and had no major problems. Motor mounts are now more one of those Zen-like repairs instead of frantic action and loud cursing in cold weather. But that's like most things these days, except for the clutch master cylinder in the 280S that I did last December.
