Q on Swedecar method to partially drop subframe

I' referring to the following detail provided by Swedecar a few months ago:
http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/9-5/index.html?bID=241381
I'm trying to do this this afternoon and am running into a few issues/questions about the procedure
1. do we need to unbolt (partially) all the subframe bolts (6) and how much do you drop the frame (eg 1/2 inch in front, 2 in back ?
2. do you only remove the center bolt from the rear engine mount?
3. re: the pry bar method to remove the rear bushing, I can't quite picture it: do you actually pull the bushing by prying the bushing metal lip (ie at the very bottom of the bushing ?
any other insight re: the procedure would be helpful- I don't really want to remove the subframe entirely since I'm working alone and in less than perfect conditions; and the indy quoted me 450 for work alone so I have an incentive to get the job done myself :)
Thanks
