Hey Mike, I don't know if you have seen this thread, but here was my experience with an impact wrench....be sure to read John Walker's sage advice in this thread!

You might want to go ahead and spray the large bolt with penetrating fluid (a rubber tube slid underneath, between the large washer and the mount works well) while you're still driving the car to help get the fluid where it needs to go. As far as the torque specs, per my Bentley manual, the large bolt gets 58 ft/lbs, and the two smaller bolts that attach the motor mount to the car get 18 ft/lbs. Hope this helps...
