I'd also add ( and I could've missed this elsewhere), that it might be necessary to unclip the cooler lines from the chassis. It didn't take to long nor was it difficult. It made maneuvering the rear cradle a lot easier, and it was just another mess I didn't have to clean up. Some of the plugs were a little difficult to get at, but I just took my time. Leaving the driveshaft attached kinda' helped with getting the cradle back in, too. I totally forgot about the alignment dowls, but got luck enough by eye-balling the bolt-to-bushing alignment that my thrust angle as as close to perfect as could be. I was fortunate. The driveshaft helped a little, too.

Good stuff! If I were more familiar with coolant lines, I probably would’ve done the same and dropped the subframe fully… forgoing the need to use a torch. At least we both got it done and saved a bit of coin!
