Engine mount removal help needed

[Dave H]

I'm replacing my mounts with Collins items and I've done the drivers side no problem. How the hell do you do the near side one without removing all the inlet manifold? The engine won't jack high enough to clear the mount and I can't get the arm off as the top two bolts are behind the alloy oil filter mount. Help!

slacken the big nut on the oil filter housing arm remove the bolt that secures it to the engine mount ,remove oil filter then the oil filter arm/housing will push up so you can access the bolts for the engine mount to block

Or just Jack the engine as high as it will go, then lower the x-member.
