That looks terrible. Not even an access hole above it. The factory must have had great faith in their welding skills.
I must be honest and say that i had expected sub frame removal to be a heavy and difficult job, and i had visions of the securing bolts shearing off leaving me with a bigger problem, but in the end it was easier than i thought. If i were to do the arms again then i would do it this way from the outset.
My time served 6 sided impact socket had become worn so started slipping, but took delivery of a new sealey wall drive impact socket and they all came out nicely.
