Default Timing belt

I am doing this for the first time so I need some 411 and help.

Before I remove the engine mounting bolts, do I have to support the engine with a floorjack under the oil pan, according to Haynes? I have the Honda manual and it doesn't say anything about supporting the engine with a floorjack.
I'm having trouble removing the engine mounting bolts. Any advice?
Thanks

Supporting it on jacks may relieve some pressure off of the bolts making them easier to remove.

For some reason i managed to unbolt a bolt that had been welded on... Hadn't realised it needed to be undone from the OTHER side lol.

I'm having trouble taking the 2 mounting bolts off. I'll have to use a steel bar for some leverage.

put the car on jack stands and support the engine by a floor jack with a piece of wood in between. Alos the jack will help you to get those bolts out.

Can I use a 2 Toyota LC cylinder jacks instead? How much pressure do you jackup the piece of wood under the oil pan? Just flush or a tad more?
