dont use WD40, use the lub that comes with it, wd wears off and will cause squeaking the lub that comes with the mounts is built to last a while.

Melt the old ones out and use lube + force (or crowbar) to push the new ones in. I always used a tree and a truck to lift engines out so I guess that's broke ___ country engineering.

That or the big orange Harbor Freight press.
