They aren't a real tight fit. You don't need a press, but you will need to straighten the small end. With that said, the aftermarket parts store inserts are garbage... I tack welded mine. They just seemed too loose even after swaging the end. I filled the open space with silicone caulking. Been that way since 1997. I'd think that would be a little less harsh than poly inserts.

Good info!
I've noticed that some of the NOS mounts online have orange or white paint on them. It looks like there are a few different part numbers stamped on them, each with either White, Orange or Green stamped next to the number. I guess the paint color determined the part number.
Does anyone know what the difference in colors are? I've only seen Orange and White. Are they interchangeable? All the same. I have wondered about the multiple part numbers, too.

That's what worked for me as well. A torch will make quick work of removing the rubber. If you buy mounts from NAPA try to get the ones made in Mexico, the ones from India need to have the rubber drilled out for the long bolt to pass through.

The only other ones I see online are NOS so they're 45 years old. What is everyone doing to replace this type of mount these days?
Thanks!
Actually they could be maybe 25-30 Years old still being made up to mid 90s as a regular replacement easy to find back then from Mopar dealers? My car got a NOS set locally ( not in USA so maybe they are actually OOOOLD ) and they are holding nice. Also got Anchors bushing replacement from Rockauto thinking on replace the old ones, but find the NOS ones couple of weeks later I got the bushings. Still on their boxes, but they seem to be nice pieces and easy to replace.

Maybe try to find NOS aftermarket ones the older the better,look for boxes that say made in USA & without bar codes,keep checking Ebag & run all the different part #s,2369 seems to be the magic# you will find them sooner or later. TRW# 83087 2 on Ebag now.
