Default Transmission mount replacement

In my Park Avenue, I feel what feels like drive train movement when I get on the throttle moving forwards. The front transmission mount was replaced when I bought the car (10 years ago), and I suspect it'* coming up due for replacement again, especially given the degree of flogging that I regularly administer to it.

I also am long overdue for a rear transmission mount replacement, but didn't really put much priority on it, as I remember it being a rather nasty piece to get at, and it only really affected reverse.

I was contemplating knocking out both mounts at once, but, then again, this video has me concerned:

Is it really that bad? For some reason, I remember mention of possibly dropping the subframe on this move also.

Is there a magic trick perhaps?

I'd believe it. I've been putting off swapping my sway bar (for an SSEi unit) because it looks like I'll have to drop the sub-frame to do it.

That having been said, I think our host might have had an easier time with a 15mm socket in his collection.
