I was thinking about changing my mounts because my bus has 175K on it now and they are fairly inexpensive.

Just wondering if it is possible getting to the upper nuts with out dropping the engine down?

No problem, just support the engine and remove the support beam. You can get to the upper nuts pretty easily to change out the mount blocks, or you can remove the aluminum carrier bracket.
