There aren't many videos on youtube for this make and model so I thought I would make a video.
Tools you will need for the job:
18mm socket or wrench
22mm socket or wrench
3/8" or 1/2" Ratchet with extension
Pry bar
Wire pliers
Cotter pins
Large flat head screwdriver
On one side you will need to loosen the nut on the motor mount in order to have enough clearance to get the bolt into the hole. You will have to use a pry bar to lift the mount high enough to install the bolt. No parts are under pressure, but be careful.

I'm about to be redoing the front end on my own '03. You've done me a great service publishing this video, Jeff.

Thanks for the video. I have an '01 Taurus wagon. My subframe is so rotted from rust on the left side of the car that the lower control arm has nothing to attach to in the front! The engine/transmission mount on the left side is also collapsed and basically sitting on air. Other parts of the left A frame further back in the car are also rotting. The right side is not as bad in the front, but I've noticed the back is getting weak. This couldn't have just happened. Must have been rotting away for years to get like this. I'm amazed the car still drives and I'm alive. Fortunately I don't use it much, mostly for going to the dump, getting rid of branches and yard waste, and picking up lumber or bigger stuff that can't go in the car. The car is otherwise clean and running, but I can't honestly sell it to anyone like this. I'm researching these junk car buyers who advertise online, make you an offer, and send out a tow truck. Got an offer for $425 from one. Going to look around a little more locally and then pick one. Your video helped me understand how it should look and what happened to mine, so thanks again. I guess you don't live in the rust belt.

One quick bit of clarification. The specific mount you mention in the video is going to be referred to more commonly as the transmission mount.

Doing this job myself today, if you don't have enough clearange between the bolt and the bracket, you can drop the subframe to get that clearance.

Did you have any vibrations at highway speeds prior to replacing it?
