Just a quick update. I was able to change the mounts with no issues. I did everything from the bottom and was able to get away with leaving the steering assembly in tact as well as the cross member. I just turned the steering back and forth a bit to wiggle the mount out and in. PS. I HIGHLY recommend this tool to get to the top bolt. Made my life a lot easier.
