You can't beat BMP's kit, on special now for $129. It used to sell at $159.00.
If you cut the tops off of the rear struts, you can loosen the housing and pivot it over 90 degrees upward. This gives excellent access to the upper motor mounts.
Be very careful not to overtighten motor mount bolts. Engine casting at the bellhousing is very thin and will break off.
I like BMP's kit better. The housing bearings are a slipfit onto the housing and the driveshaft. This makes it VERY easy to change rollers and bearings. The other kit is a pressfit onto the housing AND the rollers. I have had to pay the machinist to remove bearings and roller.
That's $80 and 4 hours wasted.
On the BMP, replacing roller and bearings can be done in less than two minutes. And you WILL be replacing bearings.
