Yes you are going to "knock" out the rubber piece. That sounds alot easier than it really is. I know you can torch them out, and pretty much have to use a torch to get them out, but another option is having them pressed out. I just let my local machine shop do that...it cost nearly nothing because they had the tools they needed. Other than that...you will have to press the new prothane insert into place. (I did that with a bench vice, but also something any machine shop could do for you) Just so you know, if you are putting the motor mounts on, it probably wont be an easy task and you will get frustrated. The prothane inserts fit very "snug".

Torch the old inserts, and bang them out with a hammer. Then wait till it cools and press in the new inserts. You can pick up a prothane insert kit for cheap off of ebay, my buddy just did this with his 92 AWD i think the insert kit cost him like $20.
