Well I got my engine replaced about 6 months ago, and found that part of my front subframe is rotted through!
 So I want to know how to remove the front subframe? is it simple (I know a bit about cars) Im hoping I dont need to REMOVE the engine, but Can I just get an engine hoist and support it in place, while I take off the subframe? What exactly is it connected to? thanks for anyinfo anyone can give to me! thanks!- Need more specifics, someone dumb it down

the front and rear mount just stop the motor from rotating.
you dont need to support the motor, the 2 side mounts do that job. the brace dan suggested above would be pretty much usless, as its designed to support the engine while you remove one of the side mounts. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
