8-Grow another elbow and and get an eyeball on a stick
9-Tap or firmly but carefully lever out thru bolt (screw large nut back onto thru bolt a few threads if tapping on that end so as to not damage the threads)
10-Loosen bolts on air con compressor unit so that it can be moved aside that poofteenth that it will probably need to.
11-Remove entire mount.
12-Repeat above process in reverse using new mount.

I already had airbox out, and the A/C compressor loose in order to move the PS pump so it was a piece of cake to do. Only thing I did differently to the above is I had my A/C loosened in advance.
Definitely scarier sounding than it actually is to do! Oh and mine was VERY buggered bolt hole had seperated completely from the rest - probably why my headers ARE cracked
