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.

I put jackstands underneath the jack points in the rear like I always do. Seems plenty secure and there is no rust there, miraculously.
I hope you really mean that the next part is fun. Save for the few more bolts I need to get off, I can sit back and enjoy some quality time with the wire brush and POR-15.
The final line up will be a pain but i am *hoping* its straightforward from here more or less. No more snapping rusty bolts....please!
