Jcb 3cx 1985 cab mounts

Anybody know how to replace cab mounts. Big rubber between subframe and wheel arch. Bottom part completly perished.

I have no idea but I should have thought it possible to just ease the cab with a jack and remove a mount?

Yip,loosen nut(probably cut off with grinder!) and jack up cab enough to get mounting up and out. Might need to undo other side as well.

Done it this morning. Cut both bolts. Used a 5ft bar to lift back of cab and chocked it. Mount fits in with a bit of manipulation. Thanks
