Put a 2x4 on top of a floor jack (about 10 to 12 inches long).
Jack lightly on the drivers side of the oil pan and then pull the bolts and then replace the mount.
There are 3 bolts holding the mount to the block (9/16" socket) and one bolt going through the bottom of the mount and the frame ear. On mine one end is 5/8" and the other is 11/16".
You will have to loosen up or remove the power steering bracket while you are doing this.
The mount sandwiches in between the PS bracket and the block.

Something I have done on some hot street cars was to run a solid mount on the drivers side and a rubber one on the pass side. This still lets the motor "flex" a little while the solid mount holds everything together. Just make sure that the mounts are the same "height" so the motor sits level.

If the mount is broken you will be watching the drivers side of the engine lift as you are applying throttle.

I usually have chronic motor mount problems (replace every couple of years). I finally replaced the auto trans mount at the same time and that helped. I also have to raise my car slowly (in increments of inches) while I loosen the three motor mount bolts or install them.
