why is this bolt so big
Hello,
In prepping to replace my front engine mount, I noticed a metal plate that holds up the wiring from the front catalytic converter. I may want to move the plate to make room and noticed the plate is held in place by a 14mm bolt. Before removing the bolt, I was wondering if it would be OK to do so. Normally, I would not think twice about removing the bolt, but the size and torque spec (33 ft/lbs) made me wonder if the bolt serves some other role.
Thanks. I've read the posts about removing the mount and no one mentions touching this plate but in case I need to I'd rather ask in advance.
