How long is a bit of string?

Are you the sort of person with no decent tools and no idea?

Or are you the sort of person who has a decent set of tools suitable for the job, jack, stands, ramps and knows how to work on cars?

Depending on those it could be impossible or very easy.

Found by typing impreza engine mount install into google it was the first result Probably not identical to your car but good enough.

No worries. Looks like it's getting to the rear bolts that are the hardest part.

Make sure to read the whole thread as the torque settings for the bolts appear to be wrong in the first post.

Yea if you've got access to ramps you'll be fine, Tim Farmer did mine for me on my driveway afterall! Extreme Scoobies also fitted them in the past on a ramp in what seemed like 30 mins. Best to try and do it when the car is cold or cooled down a bit as I remember Paul saying one of the mounts is a little tricky when the exhaust is still hot!
