Jonah11 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi guys. Me again with another problem. I swear my luck with cars is just not getting any better. So as you may know I had my clutch, dmf etc .. Etc ... Changed last year and the guy dropped the sub frame but in the process one if the nuts came free at the rear. To my knowledge the rear nuts are mig welded to the chassis but are hidden. How do I get to this nut? I'm really losing all patience with this peice of c**p. :-) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 have you got a haynes manual? It shows the nuts are just that - nuts. Nothing welded or special there. It only offers an advisory of needing a dealer tool for the subframe bushes, so just be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Know what nuts your on about, subframe bolt that hold subframe to body, sounds like been crossthreaded and kept tightening until nut pulls from body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 They should be standard but if they are stripped you might struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
