Replacing my engine mounts
my engine mounts are very compressed and close to failure, so I thought its time for some preventative maintenance. Is this a DIY job? Do I have to hoist or jack up the engine in order to replace them.
I'd appreciate it if someone can walk me through the procedure. Thanks in advance.

You will need a floor jack and a board under the oil pan and a 19 mm box end wrench, plus an 8mm hex driver.
Fairly easy except getting to the top bolt on the driver's side -- it's buried unde the intake and is a bear to get at with the mounts flat -- I had to jack the engine up a couple inches to get to it. Have a care not to drop the bottom bolt into the hole in the crossmember, it's a devil to get back out (I know, I did it). You must also remove the noise encapsulation 8mm socket. Peter
