If I had to do it again, i do not think i would replace the subframe, but i would consider dropping the subframe. It adds about an hour to the total job, two maybe (I was lucky as all my bolts freed easily).
Test the inner bolts to the subframe. If they feel like they are releasing ok, just remove the arm. If they are stuck or stiff, there will be a good chance the captive nut will break free, which is when it becomes painful. So at that point I would drop the subframe and remove the arms on the ground. It is easier and controllable.
Getting someone to do it though, I cannot see it being overly expensive, 100-150? Which at this time of year with no time, to me would be worth it. When I did it, I had never done suspension work before, now I can say I have, for me it was about both experience and the ability to undercoat the bottom of the car.
Do not use regular wd 40. Only penetrating fluids, and soak for as long as possible.
