Duplicate the jack setup you have now to hold the engine up.

Remove the two bolts holding the compression plate to the front of the engine and remove the two bolts holding the yoke to the crossmember. The new mount rubber is two pieces but don't remember if both the same or if a rear and front piece.

Remove the compression plate and the yoke to remove the rear rubber half off the mount stub. You might be able to just tip the yoke forward instead of removing it because if the radiator is in it will be a tight space to work. Protect the radiator if needed so yoke doesn't fall forward and hit. If you want to clean anything then things need to get out of the way.

Install the new rear rubber part on the stub of the mounting plate or in the yoke opening and reposition the yoke over the stub. Add the second half of the rubber into the yoke then bolt the plate and yoke back on and lower the engine. It has been awhile since I did this and don't remember how snug the new rubber fits over or in the parts. If needed you could use some silicone spray or liquid dishwashing soap over the rubber to help assembly.
