MisterCorn said:Both rear subframes are off but three of the eccentric bolts were seized in the arms. So on to the bench vise with a hacksaw to cut them off. I managed to get in just at the edge of the arms so that I didn't have to cut through the whole arm, being careful not to cut in to the subframe at all.
The toe arm was the worst to get in to.
Then on to removing the back boxes and heatshields. I had to undo the three nuts which hold the bracket to the engine for the back box.
I have seen this before, the bolts for the back box here are put in from the top, if they were put in from the bottom they could very easily be removed without the trouble of getting at three awkward nuts.
I can now get on with cleaning up this back area of the car, de-rusting and protecting. One of the studs for the heatshield snapped off, I'll have to look at how best to replace them.
