Any tips for motor mount replacement?

This was my plan. I’m still having trouble seeing why the transmission mount bolt need to be lossenedmin order to support or jack up the engine a couple sixteenths of an inch so I must be missing something here.

I made that mistake at one point when I was doing a MML. If you leave those nuts tight, you'll find that the whole Jeep goes up when you lift the transmission instead of just the drivetrain.

It's four nuts at 25 ft lbs, IIRC. Worth the time and trouble to loosen them.

Unbolting the brackets worries me with rust and corrosion we have here.

Is it possible to replacement the mounts without removing the engine brackets?

Rust/corrosion or called “natural chrome” is one of our great enemies .
Keep in mind that a few drops of brake fluid work wonders as penetrating liquid or if possible ,soaking an entire rusted assembly in brake fluid substitutes for penetrating fluids.

Just to update this:

I did the passenger side today. It went real smooth, especially because I had the fender removed. Still need to do the driver side.

I reused the factory nuts/bolts after cleaning them in ultrasonic cleaner (meh). No antiseize because I think the right torque is important here and I had a bad time snapping off bolts when tightening with antiseize for the rear suspension recently.

I didn't loosen the tranny mount and had no problem using a floor jack under the oil pan (with 2x4 wood block) and a pry bar to get things lined up.

Prettied it all up with some flat black spray paint.
