Removing tdv8 RH engine mount bolt removal

Hi all as the title suggests does anyone have a guide to how to undo these? I've done a search but no joy.

Need to undo this to raise the engine up to get injector 4 out and I can't see how to undo the bolts as they are in the most inaccessible place. Current 2007 TDV8 Vogue Buckingham Blue

Hi I did get them done in the end. The one furthest forward I got from inside the front wheel well with the plastic under trays and arch plastics removed. You can get your hand and a spanner in and slowly undo it.

The back one I got from above with lots of extension bars and a crowsfoot head on the ratchet you ideally need one that's like a brake pipe spanner so it doesn't slip off. Again slow going but possible. Just need a good torch to see them. Good luck with it as it's a horrible job. Current 2007 TDV8 Vogue Buckingham Blue

Well done on that, I ended up splitting the injector and that was a big pain in the bottom 2009 (2010 MY) 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography

i have managed to get the bolt partially out however, it has now seized and from the top i cant seem to get the leverage required!
has anyone thought about disconnecting the engine cradle and lifting the chassis? the thought being either drop the engine low enough to get clearance or gaining access to the rear bolt through the wheel arch
any comments or recommendations very welcome, this job has already stripped me of my sanity, dignity and many layers of skin!

Left hand i can do easy.

Right hand…. Absolutely no idea! I’ve stripped front end off just to look. Reason, to get the RH cylinder head off. 2007 VOGUE TDV8 3.6

On my 3.6TDv8 I needed to lower the subframe while leaving the engine in the same position while changing the steering rack - requiring the engine mtgs unfastened.

My memory is a bit shot, but I'm sure I got at the right hand side through the wheel arch with the wheel off.
I can't remember if I lowered the subframe & engine a bit first, then got at the engine mount retaining nut OR if I had direct access before I lowered the subframe.
Access to the nut was very tight and the RHS mtg is further forward on the subframe than the LHS.
RHS is difficult / slow due to poor access (1/12th of a turn at a time !). RHS front bolt is slightly easier to remove if the intercooler hose is disconnected from the intercooler.
BEWARE : Oil may come out of the intercooler / pipe. If it does, you may need to consider the condition of your turbos !
LHS is quite a bit easier, but still very difficult to start loosening the rear bolt.
The degree of bend in the spanner is critical to getting access ! Paul,
