Yep, engine weight isn't the problem but you need to lift/lower/generally bugger about with the height of the engine during the process to get bolts in/out easily and I also found it was necessary in order to get enough clearance to free up getting the rear mount out.

Rob, I did it with a trolley jack/block of wood as you described.

Anyone know if 4th gen and 5th gen engine mounts are the same?

I think the 5g ones have a huge lump of metal on top of them

Ah ok, I didn't think they were quite the same.
