Just adding information for any future searchers. 01 Viggen
I just R&R'd the rear hydraulic engine mount, not too bad all in all. I removed the bracket from the transmission, and was able to get the bracket and mount out of the engine bay from the top.
Put the car up on stands, or ramps. Disconnect the battery, the alternator is back there, and you don't want to ground out your ratchet. Remove the two lower nuts from the engine mount (17mm). Put a jack under the engine to raise the engine just a touch which will support the rear of the engine once you pull the mount out. The bolts that hold the bracket to the transmission are 18mm. Use Combination wrench on the lowest bracket bolt. You'll need to remove the link that supports the shifter from the mount bracket to access the forward upper bolt. I have a long handle, swivel-head 3/8 drive ratchet that I was just able to squeeze around the catalytic converter to loosen the upper two bracket bolts. A 1/2 drive breaker bar will also fit, just barely, but my 1/2 drive ratchet would not. Pull the three bolts holding the bracket to the transmission. You;ll then be able to finagle the mount out from above.
Assembly is in reverse order, though you may need to raise/lower the engine a touch to have the 3 bolts for the bracket line up properly.
Took me an hour, and I wasn't hurrying by any means.
