Yeah i remember seeing a video somewhere so it looks like lots of bits to push out of the way to get it out. Probably going to get a new engine mount and fit the insert beforehand considering how f*cked the gearbox mount was.
Have you already had your engine mount off then Dell?

Had this mount sat in my garage for months, bought it with some other mounts, then someone said they didn't fit even though advertised for the 8P, so never tried fitting it, be interesting to see if it does fit.

Been looking at doing my drivers side mount but I’ve been put off in case there’s a massive increase in vibrations. Dogbone and gearbox have inserts already and I’ve not noticed an increase up to now. I’ll wait until someone’s been the guinea pig and can report back 😂
