You have to press the old bushes out ... Even if you let the gearbox crossmember down ,, i dont think you would be able to get to the upper 2 mounts very easily .. Its not a hard job to remove box but is a lot easier to do on a ramp .. But i see what you are saying ...

you can do it by dropping the box down a bit, and get the cradle out - it is an absolute pain though!!
