I am doing my timing belt right now and i have almost everything removed but i cant get the engine mount bracket out. i have tilted the engine substantially but i am afraid to damage something and the a/c lines are in the way. can i tilt the engine more? is there a better way to remove the bracket? does the timing belt cover need to be removed first? please help.

for anyone interested i removed all the mounts and the brake master cylinder

How hard was it to change the belt and tensioners

Once you get to it it's super easy. Really just turning a bolt until you line up the marks.

have some cars, the engine mount bracket do not come out, that never bottered me,
not at that point to remove the brake cylinder, just moved it from a side to other and did the belt, but if you are not in hurry, it's ok

The cover on the 2006 a3 is one piece I thought about cutting the cover and buying a new one but it ended up working out hahahaha!
