Does anyone know what size? And how hard is it to replace...seems kinda tight in there! Any tricks? 2001.5 S4 Santorin/Silver Stock...For now!

The mount bolts are Grade 10. A step above Grade 8. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

The mount bolts are Grade 10. A step above Grade 8. Sorry, thats incorrect, a metric 8.8 bolt is the same, or equivilent to a grade 5 sae bolt, and the "10" is equivilent to a grade 8 sae...
