And I did reuse the number 6 bolts.
How long did it take you to do this job?

I want to upgrade my subframe and diff bushings, and am very mechanically inclined. I just don't know if I have the time to do this.
I think I spent parts of 6 days to do mine.
But I wasn't in a hurry and most of that time was spent cleaning parts prior to reassembly.
I saw how clean jvictormp got his subframe, so I felt the inspiration to do the same.
If you have a friend to help with dropping the subframe out of the car, access to a hydraulic press, and help with reloading the subframe back onto the car, I think one weekend is realistic.
