I have a bad rr wheel bearing. I figured I would remove and replace the rear links while I'm there, as I need to take the hub to a shop to press out/in the new bearing.

I'm having a heck of a time reaching the link bolts. They are rusty, and seem to be extremely close to the body. Do I need to drop the subframe slightly?

I read the fsm, and It more or less shows the job being done with the subframe completely out of the car. I'm trying to avoid removing the subframe because I have a knack of replacing everything "while I'm there".

I don't really have the time to be redoing the entire rear subframe. Last time I did it it took me over a month in my spare time. I have a newborn in the house so I fear this time it will take 18 years to complete.

Guys, help me out and tell me the secret to changing a rear wheel bearing in one hour
