I love pictures. When you only do something once in 25 years, it is great to see what someone else has done. These "how to fix it" articles without pictures are a "pia" unless it is "here is how to change a tire" kind of stuff.

Get good quality ones from the online stores noted above. I needed to do my oil cooler lines, and the best way is to lift up the engine. So I did the motor mounts also, as they were bad.
While you have the engine up, take a good look at the engine shocks. They are right next to the motor mounts, and look like mini-shock absorbers. They are expensive, even online, but reduce engine vibe. And easy to change once you have the engine jacked up. I was able to get some good condition shocks from a PAP.
Diesel giant has a useful writeup on changing the oil lines, mounts etc.
