4.3L Vortec, 143,000 miles, 4X4, 4 door.
The rubber block portion of the left motor mount has disentegrated and fallen out. The fan is now whacking the shroud (this happened a couple of miles from home, luckily). I have new motor mounts ready to install, the question is, can they be replaced without having to completely pull the engine? It seems like it would be a challenge, but not impossible, by lifting the engine slightly on the left side, dropping the front driveshaft, and possibly the Y pipe. The motor mount on that side is directly over the front differential.
