replacing differential mount -- as easy as it looks?

My 1984 300D is a little saggy in back, so I'm planning to replace the differential mount to see if that makes any difference. However, I haven't been able to find a good how-to on the procedure. I took a look under there today, and it seems like it would go something like this:

1. support the differential housing with a floor jack
2. remove the four 13mm bolts that attach the mount to the body
3. lower the housing a little bit
4. remove the two large bolts (24mm?) that attach the mount to the differential housing
5. install the new mount in reverse order

Is that all there is to it? Any tricks to making it go smoothly?

Thanks for any insights you can provide.
