Shakes or Wobbles problem
2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse

my friend, richie, says he needs to know what size press he needs for changing out his motor mounts? You only need a ratchet right? His haynes manual tells him he needs a press for it. What should I tell him. All the mechanics I know say they've never heard of needing a press of any kind to change one out before, but one person mentioned something about a bushing or something?
