Dave,

IIRC it was actually pretty simple on the 560. From below, loosen the 6 or 8 mm allen that threads up from inside the frame rail, jack the engine uo an inch or two the loosen the two allen bolt that hold the mount to the frame. Also, I found it easy to remove the main bolt and slide out the heat shield to give more access to the flange bolts. Room was pretty tight, but using a 90* standard allen wrench, metric size of course, I was able to loosen the flange bolts in little bitty turns. No need to remove the arms from the block. Be careful when working on the single main bolts, they are easy to strip.
