Hey all, i'm a little stuck.

The horizontal bolt on the front arm seems to foul on the engine mount/subframe, Am I missing something here? Is there a trick to getting it out?

urgh, looking on ELSA, for the v6 gas and tdi you are supposed to remove the engine support mounting to remove that bolt... damnit, this is gonna be a pain. than then drop the subframe at the rear for the rear arm...

I had mine changed recently, I'll ask the mechanic how he did it. Let you know in about an hour mate.

Just asked him and they came out no problem, just tilted the arm slightly.
