General Sub Frame bolts

shuggs · Dec 20, 2016

Trying to get sub frame off but am stumped with getting 3 torx headed bolts off that are at rear of sub frame.

From what I can find online these have captive nuts that I cannot see anyway of getting into.

Somebody PLEASE help.

Dont know the scudo..
May be simpler to grind off the heads..
Remove subfame

Draw out studs..then retighten/replace the nutserts

And refit with new bolts

Breakers won't let power tools in!! Won't take them off either. Bummer as subframe in very good condition
