General Sub Frame bolts

[shuggs]

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.

do you mean to soak them ready to attempt removal..or you've tried and they are spinning..??

Already tried and there just spinning, can't see anyway to access nuts in body

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
