Alright guys I got myself some Daystar polyurethane body mount bushings. I'm not much of a mechanic, I usually have my friend's dad who is a mechanic install stuff for me, but I might try to do this on my own. Do I need to jack the car up or can I just pop out one body mount at a time and be fine? Is the only challenging part going to be to get the bolt loose? Basically after I get the bolt out the new bushings just slide in and then bolt it back through, right? Thanks.
 






getting the bolts undone is pretty tough, but once you get those done, you leave one side of the bolts on, but still loose, and jack up the other side of the body with some 2x4s placed on the rocker panels strategically you only need to get the body up high enough to get out the old ones, also, might need to disconnect some stuff, steering etc. because the body will have to lift off the frame slightly
