Motor Mounts - Grrr

This is really not an area I am familiar with...so...

I was told I had a broken side motor mount. I thought the guy said passenger side, but apparently it's the driver side. How do I know this now?

Well, I ordered a new passenger side from Ken. Also got new front and rear AWRs
plus the inserts for both sides. Here's the problem: sadly, my mechanic had a stroke
the other day at work and only the passenger side and fronts were done. So I picked up the car and as soon as I started it, I could hear the same noise. And when I got to work this morning I double-checked where the noise was coming from (which I should have done in the first place, I know) and it is the driver side.

The mount itself does not appear to be broken, so it must be just the insert, right?
Is it just the three or four bolts to pull it out and swap the insert, or is it more complicated than that? I'd like to get it done this weekend, I am sick of waiting!

yeah it's just those bolts.. plus you have to remove the strut tower brace (if equipped) and the battery + battery tray.. plus might need to get some intake parts out of the way.

then just slap some inserts in

just don't get SLS
