Astra engine mounts

I have been replacing the engine mounts on my 1.7 H reg Astra diesel estate, the rear and left hand ones were quite easy, however the main mount which goes through the middle of the cam belt housing appears to need the removal of the whole engine and gearbox to get at a couple of bolts.

I can't honestly believe that a designer could be so dim-witted!.. but if this is the case does anyone know if there is an easier way around this problem?, as even though it cost me over 40 quid for the mount, I certainly do not want to get involved with removing the whole engine assembly. TIA.
