   the bolt that goes through the middle of the drivers side mount on my mates 16v has snapped.
   Jacked up the engine, took the big rubber bush off, but now having trouble replacing the middle bolt. theres no room for me to tighten as the head of it is in such an awkward position.
   Anyone have any advice at all!?

   yeah it does mate the big ally bracket comes off then you fix the mount to it with the rubber bush/shake damper torque it all up and bolt it back on.
