Simon,
It looks like you have never removed the two (2) engine mounts bolts before. That’s OK. With engine properly supported from below, removal of the two (2) bolts would cause the rear end (chassis) to pop up because of the rear gas shocks. Then you will have the room or space. And you will have a problem when you cut/grind the bolts with the rear gas shocks installed.
To eliminate the rear end from popping up, remove the rear shocks bolts at the trailing arms. Then, you won’t have pressure applied by the rear shocks. Done these troubleshooting many times before. Do it slow and safely.
