Is it possible to change the motor mounts without removing the motor and gearbox ?

I've never taken a motor mount out before, but before I had to replace it with a polyurethane 'new' motor mount, I'd get an old truck tire and take a chain saw, circular saw, or jig saw to the tire tread and fashion a new 'doughnut' in the same pattern as the old motor mount and install it. If it was not a nut and bolt type of task, I'd take it to a welder or a machine shop if I had to, and have them replace the ruined 'anti-vibration' material with the tire tread or sidewall that had some bias ply or tread material that was reinforced with steel or fiberglass threads to make sure it would stand up to the heat and stress for the task of a motor mount. It's task is simply to isolate the vibration and torquing of the motor, but unfortunately, has to withstand heat stress as well.

Ron
