dropping subframe

It will hang from the steering shaft. When you lower the cradle just have a jack under one side and hold the other. They do not weigh too much.

Do you have a way to support the engine/trans from above? If not, this works great:

I run a wire from the engine support down around the steering shaft to keep it it place. There is also one or two screws you have to remove that hold the power steering lines to the cradle.

The cradle is not that heavy, but it helps to lower it easier with a jack or two. A rolling transmission jack works great. Put a big rug, like a moving rug, under the cradle, and after it is on the ground, you can drag it out from under the car with the rug.
