Default Removing isolators from DB Vibra Damp engine mount

My mount have a taper head bolt and this has a recess for an Allen key/Hex wrench to hold it while I use a normal spanner on the lock nuts.
Warning - be careful not to put too much pressure on the spanner otherwise there is a risk of stripping the hex recess.

I have now sourced new isolators from Ohio Super products. Still not sure whether they are up to the job since I have gone through 3 sets in trying to set up my YS 140 FZ. This engine vibrates an awful lot - not sure yet whether it is not properly set up yet. It is OK at mid range and top end but I cannot get smooth running at 2,000 - 2,400 rpm yet.
