Iv'e never pulled in a pair of engine mounts cold

, but if i had too I would heat the case with hot water and grease the mounts prior to pulling them in. Im not saying this is the best or only way, just what I would try. I would also wet and dry with fine grade, the engine mounts prior to greasing them to remove any high spots from the original machining... All the best
