Having a 15mm ratcheting box end wrench and deep well sockets made a difference too.

+1 on everything said above except I didn't notice anything different except the car no longer make the clunking noise when shifting. Has hoping for smother shifting. And yup, I was on my back, the car on jack stands and I wrestled with the coolant hoses trying to get the mount in and out. And I'm embarrassed to say it took me two days to complete the job - I think over 8 hrs. Still beats taking it to the dealer though.
