*Support the weight of the engine with a trolley jack.
*Remove the long bolt that goes through the centre of the engine mount itself. See green arrow.

*Gently jack the engine up, not too much but far enough to make access to the 3×17mm bolts easier (taking care that no hoses, cables etc are overstretched).
*Remove the 3×17mm bolts holding the first part of the mount - a ratchet spanner makes life much easier. See blue arrows.
