Seems the engine needs to be lifted quite high to get the top stud clear enough to get it out, and do you do one at a time or remove both at once?

Thanks for your reply, I will have another look tomorrow and follow your instructions, it is a pain to fit spanners in the limited space.

A ratchet ring spanner seems best once they have been loosened.
You can and it will make it a little easier. The 4 bolts I mentioned hold the mount to chassis bracket. If you remove all the bolts in both the chassis side and the block side it will be easier. If you are gonna do the jack method I would just do one side at a time. Yes it does have to go quite high.

Its coming back to me now, I would remove the 4 bolts from the block side as well. I had to do this on the last gu I did. The time I didnt remove the engine bracket was on a body lifted GQ.

As for tools wobble extensions forca 1/2" ratchet do help.
