Day 34 - Rear subframe removal
After a week of soaking that stubborn bolt in WD40 each night it still wouldn't budge so I dropped the car as low as I could get it as it was rocking on the axle stands when I tried to free the bolt.
Cut the body work away around the point where the trailing arm was bolted in and this allowed me to get a breaker bar in straight on the socket with no extensions (broke another adapter this morning).
With a steel pole over the breaker to get a bit more leverage the bolt finally gave out with an almighty shriek. I was going to have to get the angle grinder on it if this hadn't worked but really didn't want to risk damaging important bits
