all that is needed to check or replace the passenger side is a floor jack and a piece of wood. put the jack under the engine about even with the axles, the piece of wood on top of the lift portion (a 2x6 is perfect, about 6-8 inches long, similar 3/4 inch plywood ok too) to distribute the load.

you want to jack the engine/transmission up to take the weight off the passenger motor mount, you will be able to see it relax, leave the wheels on the ground. it's a 19mm in the middle and a couple of 17mm on the sides to get the mount out, an air impact driver will make this sooo much easier, you will most likely use 1/2 drive hardware and a swivel for the 17mm closest to the firewall helps bunches. you can work the mount all the way out, may have to lift the engine a bit more but it happens. if the raised circle/bump around the bolt is torn it's a gonner. you can get less expensive hydro mounts, I suspect they are really more "solid" than "hydralic" mounts and *may* last longer but not positive about this. in order to change to the solid mounts the brackets on the engine need to be changed as does the mount for the mount...most likely not worth it. The driver side mount is exactly the same, but the *mounting* for it is something else... it will take significant work to check or change it. See if the other one is blown out first, if it isn't the driver side is most likely ok. When the passenger side goes it lets the engine move more side to side and stresses the other side...
