ae92 replacing engine mount

hey kids,
The front engine mount on my SX is knackered and needs replacing. I was just wondering if anyone can give any tips on getting this job done.
I was just planning on putting the car up on jack stands and supporting the engine by putting a jack under the sump with a block of wood to spread the load. After that just unbolting and replacing it etc.
Any flaws with this method?
Oh, and does anyone know how much a genuine toyota mount should cost? knowing toyota I'll have to part with an arm and a leg to get one. 
Cheers for any replies fellas

ok, the front engine mount is the easiest one to change. Support the engine with a trolley jack under the flat section of the gearbox casing, unbolt the bolt through the center of the mount, undo the two bolts from below in the crossmember, and lift the mount out of the way. A replacment mount should cost around $70 from Autobarn, or you can get your old mount re-vulcanised with new rubber which will be a lot stronger than any replacment mount. The front mount will always break the little tabs of rubber that hold the center in place, one of the guys I know actually has a letter from Toyota stating that this doesn't effect the performance of the mount, and is not an unroadworthy item (he had RWC issues).
Once you have a replacment mount, put it in place, bolt it in from underneath and throw the center bolt through.

I have an AE92 with over 400,000 kms on it. The mounts ar good but the rubber is soft. Where can you get the mounts revulcanised ?

Im still looking at getting my modified ae82 engine / crossmember mounts filled with Polyurethane Resin Shore 80.
Anyone who knows of a distributor. Please let me know. So far only managed to get an epoxy glue which aint appropriate.
I will also consider the re-vulcanising option as stated above.
BTW i am in Sydney.
