Concerning this product.
My wife got me a set for Christmas (she is awesome), and I'm at a bit of a loss on actually getting the mount out to install the insert.
The Supra shop manual was not especially helpful as it only covers mount install/removal as a sub-step for a much larger job, like pulling the engine or removing the front subframe. So it's not really clear what steps are and are not necessary for the mounts alone.
My other cars are a lot more obvious in that I can jack up the motor right next to the mount and pull the mount out. But there's a big-ass subframe in the way on the Supra.
Anyone done this job? Tips?

I'm gonna try an engine bar to keep the motor in place, then I can safely unbolt the arms from the block (one side at a time). When the arm is free, I can lift the mount out if its cradle on the subframe. No jacking of the engine required.
