Re: MK2 Motor Mount Help

["Daniel Brideau" <dan@hobbyetc.com>]

You can get it, if you let the engine/transaxle assembly sort of hang off the
mount on the other side you can coax the bolts out.  It's pretty tricky but you
can do it.

It's probably best to support the engine with your floor jack while you are
doing the work.

Hope this helps,
