Good luck, its not too hard, just time consuming.
I removed both top bolts on the engine mounts then wrapped the chain around the little turbo pipe to get the passenger side mount , then around the engine mount bracket to get to the drivers side mount. Kind of nerve wracking using the little turbo piping as a lift point... but it seems very sturdy.
