How to replace engine mounts?

Here I am once again completely dumb-founded about how to get out the engine mounts on my SVX. Just put a new engine installed and now the driver side mount is broken

. Please do not tell me I have to take the engine out again.

I just did this. You don't have to take the engine back out. Disconnect the motor mounts (lower nut) and the dogbone mount and jack or lift up the motor and you can get the old ones out and new ones in. Exhaust was not connected to the exhaust manifolds when I did it.

What is a dogbone mount? I tried to take out the the screws that held the mount bracket but the last screw that goes point towards the fire wall can not be reached. It is covered by the sub. Is there an easier way to get to it?

Dogbone mount = upper pitch mount where it connects to the front top of the transmission. You most likely would have had to disconnect this at some point in order to take the motor out.

Group N solid mounts, or any engine mount for almost any EJ Subaru.
