No you don't, its tough but you can do it with the cross member in. Take the front bolt out first, then you are able to swing the mount left and right, this will make more room to get a wrench in there. But becarefull when putting a new one back in, there are four holes ( in a square pattern ) lined up . The mount will mount on both set of holes so don't confuse them. The holes are like this

. . Don't forget what set of holes you took the mount off.

you have to have the right combination of swivels and extensions...and even then its a bit of a pain...but it can be done. just need patience.

3 ways,
#1 drop x member (dont)
#2 swivel socket mixture (pain in the *** if you dont have it)
#3 Loosen the first bolt. then tap it with a hammer to the left. Next, get a box wrench with a kink, (most standard wrenches are like this) stick it through the front, catch the bolt, and loosen. Its easy. (I did it this way)
