I am thinking it will take me 30 hours of work over 6 works days. That includes at least a couple snapped bolts and unexpected hardships.

Question - can I take both subframe mounts out using the cars weight if I am ultimately removing the whole subframe? I know I can get the first one out, but what about the second one?
I'm not sure as I ended up using bolt cutter etc (see the first posts) but I expect so - if not getting them out otherwise is still possible! Don't worry it actually is an easy job... after all the thought and checking you've put into it I'm sure you'll be surprised.
