I'm replacing the front struts on a '99 RX 300 and figured while I have it apart, I might as well replace the control arms, bushings & ball joints. My Haynes manual indicates I need to remove the transverse engine mount at the sub frame to get at the front mounting bolts & requires a lifting hoist or support fixture for the engine. Has anyone done this? I'm a bit leery about removing the mount but if you have some guidance that it isn't so hard and how to secure the engine, I might have at it.

Hi Folks,
I'm replacing the front struts on a '99 RX 300 and figured while I have it apart, I might as well replace the control arms, bushings & ball joints. My Haynes manual indicates I need to remove the transverse engine mount at the sub frame to get at the front mounting bolts & requires a lifting hoist or support fixture for the engine. Has anyone done this? I'm a bit leery about removing the mount but if you have some guidance that it isn't so hard and how to secure the engine, I might have at it.
Thank you!
