A look at things to come

[Danny]

Unbolt the driveshaft from the diff and unbolt the subframe?

[kronus]

Can anyone offer advice as the best way to remove all the rear suspension in 1 piece??

Undo subframe bushing nuts, unbolt driveshaft, unbolt shocks, unbolt brake lines caliper-side, raise car while supporting subframe?

[Matt-B]

ty for the response I got all the easy shit done and unbolted... Do i need a gear puller for the subframe mount?


this is my question, people have a lot of trouble with this part, everything else is unbolted

[Danny]

Doubt it. Probably just a BFH.

[kronus]

If you have it all undone, the subframe is tilting back and binding on the bushing mount shafts. jack it back up, and lower slowly while prying from each side.
