Subframe aka Suspension Member installation?
How hard is it to remove and install the Subframe/suspension member on a 2k2 max? I took a look under the car and I see the engine cross member, two control arms, and a few other bolts that hold this suspension member in place....is there anything else that I'm missing? I also took note that the bolts holding the suspension member to the frame, is torqued quite high...some upwards of 100ft-lbs....and so are the control arm bolts
I don't have access to a lift and don't have air tools...if I do the install, it will be done with hand tools and an 18.75 inch 1/2 drive breaker bar...can someone tell me if this is a DIY installation? Thanks

I would recommend at least a impact wrench, those suspension bolts are very tight.
Take a look at the FSM to see exactly what you need to remove in the process. There are only four bolts holding the subframe up.
