Lets see everything goes wrong with the car and i get it back and for about 2 weeks a drove it untill 2/10/04 a truck decides to drive over the front of my SHO. Pretty ****** so now i had to zip tie the bumper back on and i have to wait for the insurances companies. Well now my motor mounts are gone. Are they hard to change by your self.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. For future reference, try creating a more specific title for your post. You did not get any responses because your title had nothing to do with troubleshooting. Maybe something along the lines of, "motor mount replacement: difficult?" would have been more appropriate.

If you are asking about the difficulty of a motor mount install, here is a writeup on the SHO Times site: front motor mount replacement.

Many say the rear motor mount cannot be installed with the subframe on the car. I had an extremely hard time lining up the bolts on the rear mount while my subframe was on the car, but with heavy manipulation, it finally slid into place. Few people have this kind of luck. Make sure you use a few blocks of wood to displace the pressure between the oil pan and jack head. You'll also need about a gallon of coolant since you need to remove the lower radiator hose to access the front mount bolts. Everything you need to know is on that site.

If you're in the market for new motor mounts and plan to keep your SHO on the road for many years, check out the extreme version reinforced motor mounts found at www.shonutperformance.com . They turn your everyday SHO into an unrefined beast. You can literally feel more power being put to the pavement. A top-notch product sold by one of the SHO world's finest retailers. If you use the search function, you will find tons of information regarding motor mounts.

Good luck and make sure to keep those post titles specific thumb

On a side note, the instructions call out for removing the lower coolant hose which you don't have to do if you use some finesse.
