Re: MOTOR MOUNT QUESTION




Since it's a 16v, at least one, and maybe both bolts, are 12 point triple
square bolts, not hex.  If you use a hex wrench on them, you _might_ strip
them out...that would be uncool.  Just a warning to look carefully.  Also,
the last time I did this, I didn't have to loosen the front cross member
cup, as I was able to maneuver the bracket into position.  Good luck!
