Pull the trailing arms without removing the subframe?

I don't think it can be done because that one ******* bolt won't come all the way out. Am I missing some trick or do I actually have to drop the subframe?

now where are you going to get a new bolt for the arm?


yes it is a special bolt for the eccentric washers which hold the arm in place for toe.

475~500lb dry weight (target weight~frame pictured above weighs 65lbs)
Double wishbone front suspension*~adj height/camber/toe/damping
Single trailing arm rear suspension~adj height/camber/toe
Full power braking system*
Rack and pinion steering (as soon as I find a small enough rack)
150~165rwhp EFI 1000cc/6spd from either a gix or an R1...probably going with something smaller for the time being, though...

I'm lucky...I get to make it at work...not that I'll likely ever finnish, though. I hate learning something EVERY ******* time I do something. I've now got the front end completely disassembled for the 5th ******* time because when I put it together last time, I realized a way I could make it even better.

As it was I was using the wishbones from one of my parts SE's for the lower on my double wishbone setup up front with a stabilizer bar...then I built a wishbone to make it even more sturdy...then built a different kind of wishbone...then another...now I'm going to make both so that I can make them a perfect geometric pattern...after that I'm sure I'll make them again.

Still trying to figure out how to use the rear suspension assemblies...

Take off just the front subframe nuts.
It will tilt down enough.
