V8 engine mount replacement

[markus]

can soemone who has actually done this give me an idea how to do it? if the local parts place has them tommorow I might do the engine and tranny mounts in my 540i. Anyways I noticed that top nut on the passenger side can be undone with a long extention, a swivel and 17mm socket. That is the size right? Well anyways how do you get to the top nut on the drivers side? I have dont engine and tranny mounts before on my M3 so Its not like I havent done this before. Can someone give me a walk through on the V8 enigne mounts then? The tranny mounts dont look hard either and I have done those on my M3 as well.

Also thanks to whoever posted the cable fix for the headrest. Worked like a charm. Didnt get a chance to fix my twisted seat today but thats next.
