All you need is enough lift to take the weight off them. The rear ones have two horizontal bolts into the block and one vertical into the cross member. Take the vertical ones out first and then the horizontzl ones. They have a 5/8" head on them. | | |

You will have to loosen the rear mounts if you are replacing the front mount so the motor can pivot. Do not lift it more than you need and importantly make certain that the fan does not touch the rad if you are close to start with. My 235 fan sits extrememly close to my rad, in fact too close to even get the fan belt off. In my case I removed the fan blade for room. | | |
