Originally posted by bails: i had to cut off all 4 sub-frame bolt heads in order to get the subframe down, there is a problem though. how in the heck do you get the bolts out of the body? they won't push out!!! something is blocking them. i had to cut them because whatever held the nut in place on top broke loose and the bolt just spinned. what do i need to do to get those bolts up and out?
Man... you didn't need to cut your bolts.
I had this exact problem, well for the back two on the front subframe anyway. turns out there is an access panel under the carpet. Pull the carpet and underlay, you'll see a tar bord like covering. You have to cut it, but do so in a way that you'll be able to fold it back down. below the tar bord, there are two thin metal strips, cut them at the base with a set of side cutters or whatever. From there you can easly place a 21mm wrench over the nut. Hope it helps
