Replacing mk3 rear iso rubber boot

How hard / easy is it to replace the rear rubber iso boot on a mk3 , I have already replaced the front rubber boot and that was fairly straight forward but the rear one looks to be a bit more involved ?

If you have an engine hoist, it can be done easily. Remove the head steady. Hook the engine hoist to the rear frame loop. Pull the rear iso stud. Jack the frame up until the iso is accessible. At this point you can replace the boot(s) and/or entire ISO. This is how install MKIII-type rear isos in pre-MKIII Commandos. While jacking, keep an eye on wires and oil lines - they usually aren't a problem but who knows who's been re-routing them?

Thanks very much, just the info I was looking for !

P.S - I would like to express my gratitude to the forum builders / moderators, this is such a fantastic place to be schooled on all things Norton
