    Just looking for clarification ......is it ok to remove these engine mount bolts on either side? I just need to know the engine won't drop in the frame :D

    If they are the only ones holding it then yes it will drop, but the chances of it only being held in by 2 bolts at the bottom are slim. But I'd still only remove 1 at a time.

    Right I'll wait and show a mechanic ....I fitted the upper part to these mounts so the bars are solid for now

    Does that mean that the bottom bar mount is sitting on the top of the bottom bolt....there's no issue taking all the bolts on one side at a time....

    It's just offset from the bottom bolts .........the instructions do show details taking all 3 bolts out on each side

    I wouldn't go paying a mechanic.

    If you're in Dublin you're welcome to drop over to my place and use my tools if you're stuck.

    Do one side at a time, should only take 30 mins max to fit them, don't worry your engine won't fall out ;)

    Got it done in the end, more of a pain than anything else....there's a kind of floating triangular nut on the end of those bolts that locks in place for tightening/loosening .....it drops out when the bolt is removed, lining it up to get the bolt back in :rolleyes: .... a welded nut in there would have been nice
