    did you try the idea I pm you the videos about and if so did you have any luck


    Lol I'll spray more pb blaster. No I have not tried yet. I'm waiting for funds for the right tools to get the job done.

    I finally got my own place so I need to start buying furniture considering I move in Oct. 14th.

    I'm trying to get the car on the ground before then and running. Hopefully I will.

      • Just drill those old ones out,drill a hole about a half inch up 9n the side of the frame rail enough to get a 14mm nut in there, and just nut and bolt the subrame and cover the hole you made with a firewall plug, been there done that

          • Whenever I snap a bolt, I just weld a nut to the remaining part, let it cool a little and remove it. The heat from the welding seems to expand the bolt enough to crack any corrosion and out it comes, works every time.

            The thought of drilling out a bolt makes me cringe now.

              I can't weld. Don't know how so my only option is drilling. Ima try heating the stuck bolts up and spraying pb blaster and hopefully they come out but for the snapped bolts as you can see in the picture the two on the passenger side still has quite a bit sticking out.

              So if I can heat it up and see if it will turn with a vise that would be great but if not I will have to cut and drill them out.

                  • So my sway bar kit shipped today! Thank God. Now I'm just waiting on my sway bar adapters. I also bought a walbro 255 fuel pump off a friend for $35.

                    • Now is it just me or does this bolt look welded in there?



                      I've been at this for two days and no progress whatsoever! I've heated it up and took an impact to it and nothing. Seriously just about to buy new hubs and subframe.

                      Good note I got my awr sway bar and my sway bar adapters and hei mod harness is on the way.

                      • So I've determined the old subframe is junk. My dad found a probe at the pull a part and all the bolts came out perfectly fine so he got it for me.

                        Now my only problem is getting the three bolts that snapped in half fixed now. Me and him are on it and will try a few things.

                        Could anybody tell me how to install the sway bar adapters or where to install them that had the Megan links?

                        Also one more question I have never installed camber bolts or messed with them. On the rear subframe the two bolts in middle how do you adjust them? Same way as the front? Sorry for the question if it's already been answered just want everything done right before I install everything.

                        Thanks guys!

                          • I still have no updates whatsoever. Car has been sitting on jack stands for months for one problem smh. I also have no heated garage or a way to move the car since I can't get the subframe back in. Once it starts warming up again I'll be back at it trying to get this subframe back in.

                            Sorry guys really wasn't expecting 3/4 bolts to snap or I would of been had the car on the ground.

                            In the meantime I bought a 2003 Honda civic coupe as a winter beater because I hate my 13 focus so much.
