so long as the car is high enough to get underneath safely and you can hold a spanner then all's good.
Don't need to jack up the box - just undo the cross member supports bolts and the two nuts holding the lower part of the mount - remove cross member and undo the 4 nuts of the mount to the gearbox
remove the mount - fit the new one and refit and tighten all the nuts.
You might need a bit of strength to push up the box as it will drop a little during the swap over, but nothing drastic and if all else fails then jack the crsoomember back up into position to fit the final bolts into the floor.
