B6 Gearbox mount replacement?
Hey guys
long time lurker first time poster!
The other day while driving my A4 it scrapped on my terrible driveway (the car's lowered but not that low- the driveway's just absolutely not car friendly) and a big bolt fell out. I got udner it last night and think I've found where the bolt coems from- it looks like it comes off a mount that bolts to the subframe and into the gearbox. The mount which this bolt goes into is also torn.
Pics are below.

I've got a replacement mount and am planning to try and replace it soon, so can anyone offer any advice on doing this for a amateur mechanic?
First question I guess is how do I actually get it out, as I'm assuming at present the gearbox is actually sitting on top of the mount?
So I undo the two nuts either side of the mount and then where to next?
Many thanks for any assistance!
