Best to access Dogbone mount...
Sorry dont know where it is located exactly. Is it best to get to it from raising the front or the back? Also if putting the front up on jack stands are the front lower control arms safe for the stands?

Re: Best to access Dogbone mount...
Not sure about the Control arms but I had a friend of mine do it on a pair of ramps.
Also don't use the new round bushing. A lot of people had trouble with it breaking soon after installation. Only use the two larger bushings.

Here's a dogbone doing a pole dance...>
Ramps are fine, remove the lower engine cover. Suspension not affected.

...do it with front of car on ramps.
Also, use a vice to moderately compress the dogbone to be able to get the bolt to thread into the back...it will fit using the existing parts. Think about replacing the bolts attaching it to the car as technically they should be replaced each time they are taken out and tighten down as they are made of a little softer material. If you didn't buy them though, not to worry, you can get away with resusing them at least once.
BTW, this is one of the best <$25 mods one can make to the TT. It stiffens things up just a tad and if replacing an older worn-out rubber mount, you really will like the return back to better than when the car was new in terms of how it feels when you shift it.
