Better lucky than good

Just spent a nice evening replacing belts and pulleys on my 04 aero. I was prepared for the worst since I wanted to keep the long belt which meant replacing the center idler. I read up on all the creative options, and wound up taping the outer washer to the pulley, and using my small girly-man hands to just start the bolt blindly. Took about 15 minutes to get the threads engaged, but really not too bad. Upper idler was easy, tensioner pulley left as is since car only has 75k and I hear these are good till 120? Start to finish took about 2 hours including a few miscellaneous tasks while under the car.
BTW - is it normal for the right motor mount to feel like it's 2 pieces? If i grab the center stud, it moves up and down about an inch with no resistance?!
3x tranny drain/fill and oil change tomorrow....
Thanks
Ron
