Broken Right Side Engine / Motor Mount

Seen a couple TLs with this issue, but not much coverage on how to fix.
First symptoms for me were loud thumps while going over bumps and/or cold starting. Also, my car shook while turning the engine. I originally thought this was a suspension issue because of the thumps while going over bumps.
This issue was made apparent when I saw the cracked rubber of the engine mount. I was certain the engine mount was broken when I lifted the oil pan and saw the mount shift. Got a good look at the shaking motor while turning it too, that's another indicator.
I got parts on the way, gonna take till the end of year to get em in. Covid not doing me a solid here. I'll cover fixing in another post at a later date.

It's not too difficult to do. I haven't done it in a few years so I don't recall exactly, but I remember it being fairly straight forward, just take your time.

The removal is covered in timing belt replacement threads.

The following video may be useful. Removal of bracket around 00:45 mark. Removal of mount around 5:04. When supporting the engine, do not use too much force. The idea is to prevent the engine from dropping. You may need to raise the engine slightly (likely no more than 1/4 inch) when installing the new mount if your old mount allowed the engine to drop past its original height.

Also, I found it useful to apply (the night before) penetrating liquid to the bolts.

Torque specs in attached documents.

It’s broken. You fix it by replacing it. There’s been threads on this, not sure what you mean by ‘not much coverage’

not much coverage because it's easy to replace.

Keep in mind that big crack you see is just a dust cover. Now...good chance the actual mount under that is also cracked or damaged. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to change this assuming all bolts come out easily.
