Anything I should do at same time as motor mount?

I'm going to replace my motor mount soon. It sounds like the procedure requires removing the aluminum cross braces, etc. I just had to do all that for my trans fluid change and didn't find it very fun.

Is there anything else I should do while I have those braces off? It looks like the waterpump has already been replaced on this car, and the coolant was replaced with the orange stuff a few months ago.

James, I just did this a few weeks ago and there's no need to remove the cross braces.

the only thing wrong with that DIY is those pics are too small...
