you un bolt the starter motor (being sure to support the engine with a brace or a jack and block of wood on the sump)
Then you can bang the centre nut out the mount, might have two at the side as well i cant remeber but it is straight foward you will see what needs to be done when you look at it.

I found the easiest way was to put the jack under the sump with a block of wood, undo the front mount from the top then undo the subframe (x4 16mm bolts if i recall) and pull it out underneath. You can then change the mount on the subframe and pop it back in. I took one look at the starter motor and decided I wasn't even going to begine on that!
