Yeah man I'm real sure. Juice im up like keef said then get a lever onto it.

Well, it looks like I won't be able to do the subframe, as I don't have a long enough socket nor a spanner the right size.

I got this on special for $150 but even at $250 is still a good buy.

I got a 24mm deep impact socket, and the front pin is like 10mm too long, so my socket is too short, and the spanners I have are 21, than 25, no 24mm spanner

So, I did a slight dodgy, subframe undone, now the fun part of getting sump out, yay

[k31th]

who cares how dodgy you do it, as long as you get it done and it's all buttoned up to specification when you're finished

[Joenash85]

And after much blood, sweet and profanity, the sump is out, do not recommend, 0/10, don't ever want to do it again

As long as nothing is getting damaged it's ok. If you get to the point of wrecking the head of a bolt or marring a nut, ease off and rethink your approach.

Na, I just trimmed a little off the subframe pin to give me a little extra room, ran it past a mechanic mate first, who approved such dodginess

Weight reduction at it's finest
