Figured I would post how I replaced the engine mounts.
Model IV / 4 Kitfox with Rotax 912. Read all the threads I could find for a how to replace the engine rubber isolators, seems the bottom two bolts are dreaded due to being up against the bottom of the engine.
THESE needed to be replaced for sure

Used a jack on portable work bench to lift the engine ever so slightly
23874
Top two mounts are easy to remove.

The dreaded bottom 2 mounts, I found if I remove the 2 bolts that mount the lower cradle to the engine, I could just twist the lower bolt out of the bushing.

Simple.
