pics 16-20, subframe bushing installer in use

pic 16 shows a side view of the bushing seated in the installer. I can't really overtighten it because the aluminum lip will make contact with the subframe once it's in all the way.

pic 17 is a detail of the washer about to be seated on top of the subframe.

pic 18, everything ready for action.

pic 19, subframe bushing all lubed up with silicone and partially installed.

pic 20, all done! Now to reassemble the rear of the car...


...and that's all i've got! Higher resolution versions and 20 other pics that didn't make the cut are on my picasa page if it still exists.
