hi mate i had too use a small blow torch on mine and literally burn them out as for the bolts mine were sized in due too not been moved for years anti size spray and a day of swearing hope this helps PS don't forget too have a container of water about or small fire extinguisher

i air sawed along the aluminium inner bush bit off the big stud on each side. then used a torch to melt the rubber bit out of the subframe. then air sawed the metal bit out of the subframe.

fit polybushes!! so much easier to fit and not really harsh at all!

Loads of WD-40 a flat jack to get inbetween the beam and the car, long bar, brute force and ignorance!

my local specialist charges £60 to do these

my local garage said 80 but need them done asap for me mot retest!
i tried again today an they are stuck fast so i have managed to get another subframe with no bushes in for 50 quid so gunna go for that!

using a long series hole saw is als oa good way of getting rid of a lot of the bush from the beam.

but fire is more fun....

Sorry thought the beam was still on the car! Fire is the best way deffo! And £50 for a rear beam! Sure they only go for £20!!!!

cool cheers m8 when the beems properly off ill give it some oxy set lol but as the cars bee set on fire wne i got a plate welded in the inner rear arch im abit dubious about fire lmao
