Front subframe / engine mount removal

[PHBJohns at aol.com]

Hi all,

The latest episode in the above saga...
I've now extracted the front subframe by grinding off the head of the bolt 
whose captive nut is turning in the chassis leg. One thing leads to another 
and the presence of a section of radiator hose wedged between the right side 
of the sump and subframe cross member would indicate to me that the right 
engine mount had started to sag and a previous owner had fitted the hose to 
stop the sump from chafing on the subframe (it was wedged securely between 
the two). I had a look in my workshop manual for advice as to how I should go 
about changing this engine mount but as usual it was no help. What is the 
easiest way of gaining access to the top nut? What has to be removed first? 
Anything I should know before I start digging into the depths of the engine 
bay? As usual, all advice gratefully received.
Thanks,

Paul Johns
