Thanks guys but I have managed to get subframe off.
The front bolts came out easily. 2 of the front six rear bolts were spinning the other 4 siezed.
Ended up cutting the heads off and dropping the frame.
The siezed bolts were able to turn inwards but no way would they come out. Ended up cutting them closer to chassis slotting them and screwing them in so they fell inside the chassis but the nuts were clear and usable.
The remaining 2 that were spinning I drilled a 5 mm hole through the bottom of the chassis through the blind nut. I tapped this m6 and fitted an m6 countersunk screw. This held the captive nut and allowed the remaing bolts to be removed as the rest.
The 5mm hole needs to be drilled 6mm to rear of the stuck bolt.
Replacement subframe easily fitted with new bolts.
Has anyone managed to rplace the front subframe rear nut in the chassis?
Tried to remove the bolts but 1 is spinning others are siezed. I assume they are some sort of captive nut.
Before I cut the heads off it would be good to know what is in there.
