Get lots of wobbly extensions to get to the top nuts, the mount is held by and external torx, I was able to loosen with a wrench from the side. (I had my wheel well splash shields out messing with the oil cooler seals) but you can probably get them from the top too. Passenger side was easier. Lift each side of the engine with a jack / piece of wood to get up and over the mounts, and they slide out with some maneuvering. I wouldn’t bother with a top engine support, not enough room from the top to really do any good.

I think I followed the pelican diy
