It's the passenger side one that sucks....it will take the first timer, 
mechanical type person a couple hours to wrestle it in there. Do yourself a 
favor and have the mount pressed into a spare bracket to avoid down time. 
Once more, there most likely won't be anyplace open to get it pressed on that 
saturday morning you choose to tackle the project. Make sure they put the 
mount in right side up though!!
