Get TWO boards on top of a jack, and jack the engine up a bit to get the weight off the motor mounts (not just one thick board, because if it cracks, your jack will go up into your oil pan. TWO boards).
Once the weight is off the motor mounts, I think you just need a simple wrench to take them off, slide it out, put the new one in. Then jack the car up on the other side, and do the same.

That was pretty much the way I did mine. But IIRC the top bolt on the drivers side was a pain to get to.
