ES motor mounts/bushings install question? cost?
Ok so I recently ordered the ES motor mounts/bushings, as well as an Ingall's ETD. I read a few different DIY's for the bushings and frankly, I don't have a vehicle lift or a steel press, so I need to find a place that will install them for me. Anyone else have this done? If so, where did you take it and how much did it cost?

I did the whole job by myself with hand tools, a ball joint press, and jackstands, I used a diy from clubsciontc as reference. It was major hard work to do the front and rear mounts, the front was a nightmare to press in, that I'd take to a shop. To get the side and rear mounts removed I used a drill to tear out the rubber and a flat screwdriver to remove the metal ring. pressing the side and rear inserts into the mounts was pretty easy.

post in the your regional section and maybe someone local can help you install them or tell you which shop to take it too. a friend did mine at his shop and all went good, i used to have the ingalls ETD and both together was great, later switch the ETD to the DME because i wanted to lol.

I had mine installed by a shop; it took 1.5 days because he didn't want to rush through it (which I was perfectly OK with). I didn't ask how hard it was, but I gathered that there were some moments during the install. Got to rent a Camry 4-cylinder while it was being done; that made me appreciate the coilovers and bushings a lot more.

i did mine at school last year took about 4 hours to do all of them, the hardest was the rear, i found it easy to remove the driver front wheel, S-Pipe, Mid-Pipe and the heat shield above the S-Pipe and use a realllllly long extention and go in from the wheel.
have fun, get plenty of beers, cigarettes and anything else that soothes you... hookers and cocaine arent necessary for this install tho...
