Good to unbolt front subframe to make motor mount replacement easier?

Good day all!

I am going to replace trans and motor mounts of my 2010 e350 rwd. The easiest way i could see is the following with link below. Need not to remove any alternator or exhaust pipes etc....

But, this method need to lose all 4 bolts of the front subframe. I am not sure doing this will be good, safe or not.

Location of the front subframe bolts for reference ...




Any ideas will be appreciated and helpful. Thanks all!

Have you tried/considered removing the fender liner and pulling it out from the side? You may have to remove the strut tho. When I removed my fender liner, I just had to unzip some 8mm nuts
