Default how to replace the engine mounts?

I got wevo black engine mounts which I tried installing. Obviously the 2 13mm bolts were easy to remove but how do I remove the 18mm on the back side? There doesn't seem any opening from the bottom..

Look carefully, there are access holes in the sheet metal that allows access from the underside. I use a 1/2 drive long extension in order to reach all the way up. I also do not undo the smaller bolts first since I want the mount to be fixed down when I undo the 18mm nut - its on pretty tight.

Cheers,

Mike

This is my labor day weekend project too. Mine started leaking.

Good advice Mike.

The access holes are covered by small metal/tin discs that pop in and out...they may be camoflaged by road dirt and just look like part of the existing tin..

thanks for the informative pointers as always! so it sounds like this will be a 30 min job at the most?
i did my first oil change and omg.. it was a royal pain.. i didn't know i had to remove the rear wheel to gain access to the large oil filter..
