Hey guys, I just got my prothane motor mount today and i noticed that the front insert is the only one that is not two peices, so I'm not really to sure how to get it into the mount. There is a lip on each side of the prothane so how am i supposed to get it into the mount?
 
i covered the one side with dish soap, put between two blocks of wood in a vise. then used a screw driver to guide the other side in as it starts to push out
 
the original kit was just two inserts to fit in around the original mount, why they changed it i dont know but these are better
 
I just cut the lip off one side and inserted it from that side. All my mounts are solid except for the bottom front one which came in two halves. I had issues with the rear one. The diameter of the steel bushing was greater than the original bolt. This is what it looks like now:
