Its that simple. So, whats the problem? Have you tried raising the motor
a bit? Tried lowering it a bit? Tried to remove the bracket that the
mount sits into? (2 17mm bolts) You should just be able to manuver it
right out of there. Dont make me call you Tard Boy!

OK, so you got it out of the car. Good. 
So, you got it in the car too? What did you replace? The rubber mount on
the bracket, right? The old mount pulls off and the new mount slips on.
Reinstall the bracket and the 5 minute job is done. 
Am I understading the problem correctly?
