I don't suggest doing this with the exhaust on!

If you have access to a High Lift to put the car and have a transmission floor jack, then get a block of wood and place it under the oil pan. Crank it just a little bit so the engine's weight is no longer so much on the mount un bolt the mount from the motor, I believe its a 19mm bolt. once removed then you can lift it up some more but be careful and watch your Y pipe etc from hitting the car. Once you have adequate lift space for your hands to access it remove and replace.
