Can someone help me with videos on how to replace engine mounts or seats along with the gear mount on my car listed above?

Thank you.

That van was not sold in the US but the mounts should be about the same as most other mounts. You use a wrench to break the bolts/nuts free. Then use a jack or cherry picker/engine crane to slightly lift the engine to take it's weight off the mounts. Then remove the bolts/nuts and remove the mounts. Do one at a time so that the remaining mounts will hold the engine in the proper location as you work. This looks like it could help as it is mounts for a similar engine with a similar platform.
