Such jobs are straight forward and simple thumb of rule is :

Anything that is restricting access to the mount or valve cover has to be removed.

A floor jack is required to lift the engine when mount is being removed. Be careful how high you lift the engine as there are hoses, pies and wireharness connected and could be damaged if too much force is applied to them when lifting the engine.

Costing varies according to regions and best way to go about is to check with more than one garage to understand local prices.

Hello,

Yes a jack is used under the engine.

Here are some diagrams (below) and a couple of guides to help you see what you are in for when doing the job:
