    Need a quick Q answered

    Does anyone know what size bolt holds the rear subframe on? Just need the diameter or whatever. Gunna rig up some jerry shit to yank these bushings out.

    If you do a search, someone makes a tool you can rent for about $45 a day that will do it with the subframe still in place.

      Ya I was gunna rent it on the 18th but I believe I've figured out a way to do it for 3 dollars at the hardware store without removing the subframe.

      It should work.

      Pretty much just gunna pound it out through the back seat with a big piece of threaded steel rod, with a washer and nut on top between the subframe and the bottom of the car. And to put them in just basically the same except put a nut on the top inside the car and a washer and nut on the bottom of em and crank em in.

      Kinda tight on money.

        Good luck. I'd rather not fuck with it, but that's just me.

          What else would I do I don't really have the almost 300 dollars it's gunna cost to just rent the tool. Granted I'll get my money back after I return the tool. Matter of fact I don't even have enough to rent it with a deposit. I just ordered THR cabs pretty much cleaned me out.

            Sounds like a solid plan to me.

                Those subframe pins are 14mm in diameter. Half inch rod would be 12.7mm in diameter.
