This might help some. I would suggest reading some of the info on this thread first.

I'm in the middle of doing mine right now. Seems like it's fairly easy as long as none of the bolts break. Then again, my entire front clip is removed, no eng/trans, etc. I'm actually going to lift my entire body off of the frame though to coat everything.
I'm just using a 1/2" drive ratchet and they're coming out with no problems. For extra insurance I suggest a 6 point socket. I'd hate to round one of those off with a 12 point. I'm using the Prothane Mounts though. I could imagine that it's going to make a world of difference when the car actually makes it on the road again.
I'll be using new hardware and anti-seize on the threads.

nice !!!!!!!! do you know what he order of placement is is it bushing +washer+ frame and then Washer bushing??
Here they are on Summit's site http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ENS-3-4141G/
You might also want to invest in a new set of bolts. They are not included in the bushing/ mount kit.
They were just slightly over a $100. when I bought mine several years ago.
It's not too bad of a job putting them in, providing that you don't break any bolts. You pretty much do one side at a time.
