Upper Motor Mount Cross Thread

Searched the forums and didn’t see anything...

It appears my 2003 R53 driver’s side aft motor mount is cross threaded. It looks like it’s not something replaceable and I’m searching for options before I drop a tap down there. I purchased a new bolt, but that doesn’t fix the main issue.

Best bet is to remove the mount completely and get a tap and retap the hole and pray it works.
