It should be the 3300 [LG7]
If it's the top dogbone mount you should be able to remove it with no problems. Post up a pic.this IS a General Motors product and the general rule is that nothing should make actual sense.This message was sent from my 2012 Cadillac CTS

Been there, done that, I've got a Century wagon, same motor.
You'll have to remove the dogbone, and the mount on the front of the motor to gain access. Never found any other way to do the job...but it's not that bad.
