rear subframe removal problems
Turbo Mini Forums

I made a start changing the rear subframe tonight. This is my first attempt at this so bear with me!

basically I have removed the braking (pipes and cables), battery cable disconnected, bolts removed from the boot floor, bolts removed from the heelboard. As far as I can see there is nothing left connected, it should just fall away but seems to be stuck fast to the healboard

Is there anything that I am overlooking or do I need to use a bit of brute force? As I said there is nothing obvious holding it in place still

Cheers, Dan

Also removed the fuel filter bracket

Shocker bolts removed ?

It will be tight give it a good wiggle , if i remember right the heel board bit wants to drop down slightly first otherwise the mounts foul on the rear valence corners

Hi Rick, yes the shocks are off. Will go and have another look in a minute. It really wouldnt budge last night!

it normally needs a bit of persuasion with a pry bar

Its off now cheers chaps. Got to sort some welding hopefully will have it running again by the weekend pending delivery of parts
