V8V rear subframe removal
Discussion
I’m hoping to keep my 2009 4.7 manual for many many years.
One of the things I’m considering, to keep the car in tip top condition, is to remove the rear subframe and then get it either powder coated or plastic coated.
I’ve had a look around, but can’t seem to find any guid to removing the subframe.
Has anyone done this or is there a manual guide ?
Cheers

Rear diff has to come out for a clutch change as far as I'm aware and this is apparently within the scope of a home mechanic with the right tools and plenty of time on their side.
Agree PaulRog - it can only get worse over time, so makes sense to get it done before things deteriorate too far.
Luckily I only have very mild surface rust in a few places at the moment.

Pics would be really helpful BigMig - many thanks.
I'm no stranger to 3 hr shifts in the garage in the evenings, so even if it took me 20+hrs a couple of weeks should nail it.
Might wait until late Feb when it's a bit warmer, although it's amazing how hot you get lugging heavy stuff around.
