Default SIII Front subframe bushing/mount

Engine is out, and I figured replacing these would be straightforward. Car is on jack stands at the lift points, I have the nut off the bottom, and both bolts unscrewed, but there is not enough clearance to remove the bushing/mount. Do I just need to push on the cross member to create the separation, or do front mounts and/or axle/steering column have to be removed?

Thank you!

I had to remove the nuts on top of the shocks in order to drop the subframe enough to remove the mount/bushings. Weird I haven’t seen the manual or any other guides reference that, but glad it worked!
