Alright!
Thanks Oldsaab and Nashvegas for the advice. I went to sears and bought a 17MM med length 1/2 inch drive socket.
I put socket on the nut, tapped it on securely with a block of wood and a hammer, then connected a 1/2 inch swivel, then a 1/2 extention, and then worked on it for awhile with the 1/2 drive air impact. Suddenly it came off. I removed all 3 nuts and bracket above.
With the help of my son I jacked the car up, placed it on stands to lift one side.
Slid the jack under the differential with a block of wood between. loosened the front mount but left bolts on. slowly jacket up the engine.
Once the hydraulic engine mount was loose I slipped it out (scared any minute it would all fall and crush my fingers)
Once out I slipped the new one in (forgot the washer in between but suddely remembered thanks to Nashvegas) I but the nuts on only slightly to hold in place.
Lowered the jack. Took off 17mm nuts, placed bracket over nuts
Tightened all nuts to 40 Nm.
Now the engine is smoother than I ever thought it could be.
Thanks again,,,on to the next challenge.
