Yuck, that thing is nasty looking .

yeah I had that fear of the car coming down on me. where do you jack it up? it is just sheet metal under there, and with the rear suspention out, there really isn`t anything to support against.

That is why I called WHUNTER to ask him how he does it, and how i should. I mentioned it in post#25 how he told me to do it.
Rear subframe removal and bushing replacement

I had the pieces made, and they worked very well.

I bought a 14mm allen/socket, I think from Harbor freight, then use my 18" breaker bar on those drain/fill plugs. most any auto supply might have one. I know my MB super duper oil pan/diff drain plug wrench won`t budge them sometimes.

Now the fun starts.
