Yes you can raise the engine from underneath (most people don't have a hoist and do it this way, just be VERY careful and have a good jack) position the jack under the sump and use a large thick piece of wood to spread the load.
First, take off the nut on top of the mounts. Then take up the strain with the jack and remove the bolts that secure the bottom of the mounts to the crossmember (you may have to lower the steering rack to access these, I can't remember) Then raise the engine with jack just enough to clear the mount bolts and pull them out and replace.
Torque is 43-57 Nm
