Can the stock rubber of the OEM mounts be pressed out with a hydraulic press? Or do they have to be torched out and then pressed in?
thanks

the rubber and metal lining in the mounts can be pressed out using a Hydraulic press, try looking around for Machine shops that have a press or specialty stores that carry ES products, usually they also have a Hydraulic press.
this is the method we used in installing the JWT mounts and also the passenger side mount of the ES kit.

Some places may have trouble pressing out the inner ring on some of the mounts. The lip is very thin and they have trouble keeping the press from slipping off. I was dumb the first time I had the mounts pressed out and they charged me out the ass because it took them a few hours. You can save your self some money and just burn them out with a torch. Once you have burned the inner rubber out get a big hammer and a nice strong screw driver to push the inner ring out.
