The key is to get the jack under the oil pan, with a board
obviously, so that its just supporting the engine enough so
that you don't raise it or drop it any when you pull the
mount out.

Removing the bolts can be done pretty much in any order but
installing the easiest way is to put the long bolt that goes
thru the mount in first just enough to catch the threads.
Next completely put in the outer bolts that bolt to the
block.  The middle hole should line up perfectly then and
you can put that in now.  Finally tighten up the long
bolt and your done.

You may need to jack a little for JWT mounts I've
found or place ones.  ES's ones I didn't need to.  That mount
can be changed in about 10 minutes.

Pressing in the ES mount into the darn thing thats a
hole other story.
