    Did you just re-install the nut on the subframe bolt temporarily or is it actually missing the plate that bolts to the pinch weld?

      Reinstalled temporarily so the subframe wouldn't fall on my face. Plates were removed before hand. They had some BS menards hardware that I had to snap out.

        You are about to find out that even with all subframe hardware removed the dang thing is stuck to the car by means of black magic.

        Having it fall out and hit you in the face would be preferable to some of the profanities you are about to invent while attempting to remove it

          ^Johns came out with minimal struggle from what I recall. The one on the compact was cake too=P Just get a large 2x4 and put it between the car and subframe

          Then step on it to slowly work it off

            Mine almost fell out on me - didn't take hardly any effort to remove.

            Helped Josh drop his though and it didn't wanna come out. He ended up leaving stands just barely under it and letting the weight hang overnight, then used some force to remove.

                    I think so, but not 100% sure. I know you get it next day when you order it. Also can get it in different colors. It's like Franks red hot, I put that shit on everything!

                        I usually spray everything down with a nice salt water solution to help build immunity in the metals just like you would give a flu shot to a person.  It works wonders!

                                Is it a hammered finish? Or smooth depending on the surface? And did you brush it or spray it on?
