Nismo engine mounts

Ok i did a search on this but couldnt find my answer.
Simply, are the nismo engine mounts hard to fit, and yes i do have the engine out

You can't really do it yourself,you need a hydraulic press.It's crucial they line up in exactly the right place on the alloy brackets otherwise your engine won't go back in as there is no give in them like the OE ones.
I took mine to an engineering firm and insisted they did it just so-chrged me about £15 IIRC which was cheap as it took them the best part of an hour to get them lined up properly.I suppose Nissan will have a jig to press them in,so you could try them also.

Ye the car is in the Nissan garage so hopefully the garage will have something to put them in. :? I'll have to warm them about lining them up

I think Ex GTiR said there are marks on them to line them up.I didn't spot them and used crayon.

cant really remember i know there are lines on the rubber part of mount but cant remember if the are meant to be horizontal or line up with a mark on body when you look it will be visible
