#3: Re: Gear box question (Mount issue) Author: CallumHill, Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2015 2:29 pm ---- no mate! the nut that you undo the gear box side mount, that threaded shaft! goes through the engine mount and that bolt you un do secures it to the mount?

You will need to buy a tool to undo the stud or cut the big round washer that stops you from removing the two bolts underneath .
undo the two bolts and remove the mount stud . Use thread lock when you put them back on .
Good luck .

Mine just ate the stud & didn't spin . Was a pain I didn't have time to go buy a tool + i was sick of reading special tool in Haynes bs manual Tbh..
I would advise to fit a new mount & stud .I didn't & it's fine i cut as lititle off it as possible to get the bolts out.
Fair play for getting it out with the stud on. you have determination boio.
