Ok, So I am pulling out of my garage and then....

clink clink clink....


Pull out and see this bolt on the floor.

Any ideas? I recently had a clutch job done.

Looks a lot like the bolt for the bottom crossmember. I have mine off right now, and the bolts look identical to your bolt.
 
DING DING DING!!!

yep! motor mount. thats the only bolt that would look like that that is involved with a clutch job. the point at the end is a dead giveaway.

looks kinda like a motor mount bolt. they are usually the only ones with a pointed tip with them.

Rear mount is missing the nut so the bolt fell out! good job!
 
Didn't think of that one since I just remove the entire mount, and both my front and rear mounts are replaced with other bolts by now.
 
Those post's disappeared WTF....
It's the rear roll stop mount screw that goes thru the center of the rubber/sleeve part, but you already knew that....
Enjoy, that ones a biotch from above, never tried from below though, not sure it's possible...
 
Here is a question is there anywhere other than a dealer to get another o2 housing bolt for the turbo 6 bolt? Mine was consumed by the gravel.

Definitly going in from above.


Remove battery and battery tray and EASY access.


BTW the nut is missing on that one so I contacted the dealer. They said its a custom order, Part number 430002


I sed fugedabout it and went to home depot, Picked up a new Grade 5 galvanized bolt and am going to use that and a lock washer and then nut.
 
Man, I tore my forearms up trying to get that damn metal bat tray out just so I could do my fuel filter and E.S. motor mount insert.
I have to do my fuel filter again this weekend :cry:

Peace

OH NOO!!!

I hated that thing,
I wedged a wrench against the firewall and then busted the bolts loose. then loosened the rest and removed it.

How hard was the ES motor mount insert? I ask because didnt you replace it with an upgraded one?
 
Well, when I bought the car that motor mount was broke.
I bought a new motor mount from SATAN, and installed the E.S. inserts.
Had to use some WD-40 to slip that bastard mount back in.
Anyway, I'll be doing a fuel filter this weekend, so I'll be back in there.
