I was just finishing up doing a timing belt on my 01 Golf and was tightening up the 2 bolts for the right side engine mount into the engine bracket ( the ones that are 44 ft. lbs + 90 degrees) and one of them was stripped. I was only at 30 lbs. when I noticed this. I removed the top mount and could see the threads on the side closest to the front of the car were badly stripped. Anyway I am trying to remove the mount and am not sure if it will come out from the top or bottom of the car. I have done 4 TB jobs on this car and I never had it out so this is a new one for me. I have already ordered a new mount and the 4 stretch bolts but would appreciate any insight into removing this mount.
