    Rear subframe help

    Hey guys, I removed my rear subframe the only way I could which was to burn the bushings off the car. The inner part of the bushings are still on the car, and seem really solid, so I was wondering what to do to get them out of the way.

    I attached a photo of what I'm talking about, let me know your thoughts.

      Thread a long lag bolt in to the sleeve from the top. Liberally soak down the sleeve to car junction with PBlaster for a day or two, then hit the lag bolt with a hand sledge.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            I'm worried about this job. My studs are welded/sealed into the hole from factory much like a Z3. Don't ask me why...

                that's just goopy undercoating. It comes out easily.

                    I must have been really lucky; when I took the last bit of hardware off of the subframe, the whole thing fell within inches of my face....the driveshaft was the only thing that kept it from completely falling off of the car. The bushings had cracks in them, but there wasn't a speck of rust anywhere and the threads on the studs going into the body were perfectly clean.

                    I love socal cars.

                      An AZ car and it's being that difficult? Mine came out with the rubber.

                        Huh. Well, that should make it easier. I looked down in there and my heart sank. I'll give it another go from the top side.
