today I got started. I jack the car up, removed the front wheels with the car frame on the jack stands. I remove the front shocks and disconnected the front swaybar. With the floor jack under the subframe I removed one of the four subframe bolts at a time, but before proceeding to the next bolt I screwed the remove bolt in a few turns. After doing this to three out of the four I carefully lowered the subframe and exposed the first of the four worn bushings. After removing the bushing and replacing the bolt, I moved on to the next of the four bushings.

I'm now waiting for the new parts ($48 with shipping).

I did the removal and plan to install the new parts without the use of a cherry picker. The Haynes method of the cherry picker doesn't seem to be nessary. Maybe it's an extra safety precaution if the floor jack fails (that's why I left three of the four bolts lossly connected). If I had a cherry picker I'd use it to speed up the process. I have found the Haynes manual to be informing, but not always correct.
