Removing the front rubber engine mounts requires getting under the car and going up inside a hole in the subframe to remove the main bolt. And it can be a bear! I don't know who they hired to tighten these at the factory, but he must have been a brute. These hex bolts are usually in very tight, and you will need a heavy, strong, and tight-fitting 8 mm hex socket. In many cases, only a 1/2 inch drive will do. This is a 3-inch long special socket. You do not want to round out these bolt heads. New bolts can be purchased separately. See below:
