Hi all

I've had a fairly constructive day working on the TF (2003, 135).

I changed the front sub frame mounts without any dramas.

I hoped to also swap out the drivers side wishbone which has a hole in it. The passenger side looks fairly recent. I managed to remove the bolts in the front rear mount (without snapping) I also loosened the 2 wishbone bolts, the drop link bolt and the pinch bolt.

I undid the bolt on the steering column inside the car and the cross frame bolt. The front mount is already loose.

However, I cannot get the sub frame to drop more than an inch which in not enough to access the rear bolt.

It is beginning to dawn on me that I need to remove both rear mounts in order to drop the frame or enough.

Is this right or have I missed something blatantly obvious?

Thanks.

I suspect that you're right: both sides need undoing to get sufficient clearance.

Thanks Rob, it makes sense now.

Time to get the plusgas out again!
