Message	The procedure is not that bad Remove the front wheels Pop the tie rods Pull the tension rods Pull the 17mm bolt/nut for the lower arm > subframe Remove the engine mount nuts Disconnect the two power steering lines Mark the steering shaft, remove the bolt Support the engine Support the subframe Remove the 4 nuts holding the subframe on, lower it Pull the trans > engine brackets Slide the soft oil return tubes up onto the hard tubes Pull the oil cooler line Drop the pan I think I had 5 hours total and some of that was the intensive prep in those hard to reach areas for the new RTV Def couldnt do an engine R&R + this repair in 5 hours
