Subject:motor mounts

Ordered some motor mounts for my 84GL.  Have talked to a couple people on
the list about the proper way to replace the mounts on this leaker.  Between
those explainations and the Bently, this is what I have come up with for a
procedure.  I am looking for any inputs from others who have gone through
this.  I am trying to study the whole process before I get in over my head.

1)  Remove the muffler/cat and the exhaust pipe going to #2 and #4.
2)  Support the engine with a jack but do not apply a lot of lifting force.
Just want to support the engine.
3)  Remove the 3 bolts on the engine that attach it to the motor mounts.
4)  Remove the bolts on the engine support and drop the assembly down to
replace the motor mounts.

The Bently really isn't clear on a process.  It just shows pictures and no
sequence or instructions.
