drivers side motor mount removing bolt?

Is there some trick to getting the bolt out of the drivers side motor mount? do I need to take something else off to have enough room? I don't remember having a problem the first time I put the mounts on, but I can't get the drivers side off

had to loosen the other side of the mount, finally got it, is there any reason why I shouldn't put the bolt back in the other direction?

excellent... cause that's how it ended up going back in, turns out the passenger side wasn't any easier, but no more cracked motor mount
