you gotta at least lift or jack the engine up enough to clear them to get them in and out. prolly just easier to pull the engine.

I've done it before by pulling the motor mount bolt, jacking the car up, lowering the car down with a jack stand with a wood block under the oil pan, replacing the mounts and jacking the car back up, removing the jack stand, lower the car and replace the bolt. I only replaced one side at a time so I didn't screw up the alignment on the bolt hole, but when I was younger I had more time than brains......now I have neither.:D

Its very possible but you have to stand on your head and it only works on the 5th friday of alternate months.
