Thanks to all the contributors for this post. Did the service this weekend and the reference was invaluable!

My findings from my '09 coupe with 96k miles:
- Definitely remove the wired sensor on the driver's side
- The ratcheting 13mm box end wrench suggestion was gold! Worth every penny.
- I managed to strip the threads in the angled bolt hole of the frame. Nasty. But successfully cleaned it up with an M12 1.5 pitch tap (whew!).
- The new mounts were about 1" higher than the worn older mounts...took a LOT of wiggling (and some cursing) to get them into position but persistence finally won the day
- I also replaced tranny mounts...really simple job...old mounts still looked quite good so not sure it was really needed
- I have the aluminum underbelly tray (which I love!) but makes it a little more of a pain to remove the skid pan.
