The other one is held on the bracket by a couple of bolts so if you undo the big main bolt, the 2 small bolts should be easy to remove and you'll be able to remove it - gearbox needs to be supported or it won't line up afterwards.

Good info, many thanks.
Sorry, I have another question! I've replaced the wishbone to subframe bushes like-for-like with what was on the car... Pic of these below:

I've just been looking at the Audi parts catalogue on OEM EPC online and noticed those bushes (part number 811407181) are for 81/82 model years and seem to go with the non-sided wishbones. My car is 84 and has the sided wishbones and drop links, which according to the catalogue seem to go with different bushes with a metal casing on the outside for years 83-87, part number 857407181 (see pic below):

Anyone know if the bushes are interchangeable? I'm confused now, I thought getting the ones that were on the car was the right way to go, but the catalogue seems to say otherwise. I supposed a previous owner could have had the wrong bushes fitted?!
Any help appreciated! Many thanks.
