Dropped the exhaust and everything. Could've probably finish in 3 if I had all the tools ready. Couldn't find a 18 for a while and couldn't access the top rear strut mount bolts. Totally forgot about the bottom one. After that was off it was easy.

Might as well replace all your bushings (if you haven't done this already) while you're there Tony

Sweet, where did you buy this, copart.com?
Dude that M diff/subframe is going to be sweet! Congrats on the work.
Jealous you got the front brakes to pull apart at your disposal too.
Did you remove the abs sensors as well?
