Both required loosening the steering rack, dropping the subframe, and raising the engine with a hoist or engine support bar to gain clearance. The E70 diesel required more work like removing the engine mount arm on the passenger side. Some various other things to do... nothing crazy hard, but pretty annoying.

Don't think that applies to F15 N55. Mine started leaking fluid, I did some poking around, it only requires the reinforcement plate to be removed, at least for the N55 that's the case. Shop quote was 1.5 hrs each mount. Don't spread wrong info and scare people if you've "never done an F15"
