If you are talking about the mount that is located of the transfer case, it's pretty easy to replace. Place your jack under the tranny (being careful not to jack it up too much or damage tranny). You just want to hold the tranny in place while you remove the mount. There are a few screws that attach ot teh mount that also attach to a heat shield. Remove those. And you may have to loosen the exhaust mounts (but you don't need to remove exhaust). I found it is easier to remove the large bolt (or at least loosen it a lot) on the rubber bushing first. Then remove the six bolts that hold the mount on. That's it. To put it back on, I think Bentley's says the big bolt is something like 50 ft/lbs, which seems like a lot, and the six bolts are 15 ft/lbs I think. Install in reverse order as removed. The only tough part is getting that big bolt through the rubber bushing as the exhaust (IIRC) gets in the way, but you can wiggle it around a bit to get it in. You may have to loosen the exhaust mounts a bit, depends on car.

But, it's easy and quick to do.
