If I remove the passanger side motor mount (the one on top) Do I need to brace the motor from the bottom? I need to change my drive belt. Thanks in advance.

you really should. Just make sure you put a block of wood between the oil pan and your jack. As an aside you can release the tensioner from underneath. Just pop the wheel off and get access. I put mine on that way after a timing belt change and I had the upper mount off at the time (it wa seasier to do from below). Be safe and don't depend an a jack to keep the car up.

yes you do, that motor mount is the only thing on that side of the motor. The service manual says to suppost the engine when you are changing the timing belt. You should be able to get to the accesory belt without having to remove the motor mount. I don't recall if mine was on or off since I changed it at the same time as I did the timing belt. If not it has been easy with two people. My father unloads the belt and aligns the belt for the pulleys on the bottom side of the engine and I align the top ones, works pretty good
