   It's do-able on your own, but you'll need an engine 'hanger'...basically   
   it's a device that sits on each side of the engine bay and attaches to the   
   engine to 'hang' it while you remove the motor mount. You can accomplish   
   the 'hang' with a cherry picker if you don't mind it being in your way.   
      
   Don't try to use a floor jack because you won't find a suitable place to   
   support the engine and transaxle, with the oil pan of each being the   
   largest target under the car.   
      
   You might find a tool rental place that has the engine hanger...don't call   
   it that because I'm not sure of the technical name, but you can describe   
   what you're wanting to do and ask if they have a tool to support the   
   engine while you change out the motor mount.   
      
   I'd estimate that it's a 30 to 45 minute job, with the right tools. That   
   means the repair shops charge $400/hour with a one hour minimum...such is   
   life in California.
