You might want to jack the motor back up a bit. That will make the mount install easier.

Do you have a jack and jack stands . . . ?

NOT harbor fake jackstands . . . those have been recalled and can kill you. No joke. Read about it ☠

Do you have a good assortment of hand tools . . . box end wrenches, sockets, extensions, ratchets, etc.?
