Thanks for the encouragment bogy. I started to do it a month ago, I was going to change the oil cooler lines, but I could not loosen the small screws in the hanger below the power steering fluid, and in the side of the engine. I may just do the mounts, and then tackle the cooler lines another day.

Just a half inch is enough. Slide out the old and slide in the new. There is a piece of tin you may want to reinstall so remember it's orientation. Both sides can be done in 20 minutes.
