easiest to do them both at the same time.
should just need some basic, metric sockets (13, 15, maybe a 17), some extensions, metric end wrenches.
drop the trans crossmember (4 bolts)to get the tail of the trans lower so you can get better access to the torque arm bushing. it's a bit of a pain to move the front of the TA out of the way to slide the TA-mount in and out...but it can be done. have a piece of wood, or crowbar handy for some leverage.
and to put the TA bushing into the original mount, you need to grind off rivets holding the stock bushing. then reinstall the new one with supplied bolts. not a big deal unless you don't have a grinder. but it could be done with a dremel, or even a hand file with enough patience.
or i would be willing to be $10 to a mechanic and they'd grind em off for you.

Thanks for the info , i will do this soon since . i can see the transmission mount move when i push up on the driveshaft .
just a question i was getting a little play from my driveshaft as it goes into my transmission output seal , the seal is not leaking . Is there suppose to be any play at all or is a little ok ?
I/ Am Jacking up the car as soon as i am done typing . and probally will have another question or two after its done . so ill post it here .....
1st question how should i jack it up ? I mean can i do it with just the rear in the air ? with the frame on jackstands . will it be high enough ?
i have one 3 ton floor jack , 2 ton compact jack , and two jack stands .
what would you do ?

The bolt should go thru from the pass side with a nut on the D side you can just slide it over and take it off.
If its a stud(welded to the mounting plae) just lower the trans enough to slide it out.....
HURRY UP....sat. night got to go pick up some girls!!!
man this sucks . what could i do ?
is it possiably to drill out the rivits and install the bushings they way it is now ?
could you think a dermal can fit up there and cut the head of that stud ?
let me know before you get them girls
