To replace the rear mounts you only need to support the engine and remove the
rear engine carrier bar.

You can get to three of the nuts holding the mounts on fairly easy, the
fourth is almost blocked by the water pump.

My 1/4" spring loaded flex U-joint was what I needed to get to that nut.
GET ONE to make the job easier...
The most useful tool I have ever bought after struggling without it for so
long...

If you use stainless steel nuts a magnet does not work to get the nuts out,
so put a piece of sticky tape on the end of the magnet, to get the nuts (ask
me how I know...)
