Hi All
Just decided to take the rear sub frame (or whatever it's called) off so that i can replace all the trailing arm bushes etc, have undone the two allen screws and the large nut underneath the rubber bush and pushed the long bolts back up into the rear seat area, i now expected the whole frame to come away but something still holding it, Any Ideas ??? (p.s. the diff, suspension etc is already removed !!! :hump:

perhaps try a hammer, or even a lever of some sort to try and get it off

:lol: sorry but this just made me laugh. In my mind it was "I want to change the trailing arm bushes ... so I just pulled out the whole back of my car" :D . I haven't changed them myself and maybe that is the best way to do it (I mean I am not saying you are wrong or anything, I have no idea), but even if it is I still find funny :D . And you were so casual about it, "I just decided to take the rear subframe off" you know, as you do when you've got 5mins spare :D .
