Is there any 1 who can recomend a way to get the bolts out that attach the wishbone to the subframe would be a massive help or would it just be easier to drop the subframe as i have 3 other r5 turbos:confused:

Are they siezed in by any chance? If they are only real way is to cut them out, hitting them out you'll have a good chance of bending the wishbone mounts.

Cut the wishbones to bits with a grinder, the bolt seizes inside the bush.

or in RTOC terms heat it with a blow torch and **** it with a hammer

yup, i had to cut the bolt out too after mines were stuck solid.

i actually cut the wishbone off so i had more room to make some clean cuts.
