[Shotimes] Front Pass Side SF Nut

[shewitt]

I had the same problem when I installed the police SFBs.  I ended up cutting a small hole in the outside of the right side of the subframe with a torch.  Worked great, and the hole was small enough so the integrity of the subframe wasn't compromised much.

>Was in the final steps to completing clutch.  Was putting in the last sub frame bolt which was the front passenger side.  Had the bolt started but it was going in very hard so I backed it out and was going to reinstall it.  In the process I pushed the SF nut off the retaining hook or whatever it's called.

>I understand I need to put the nut back on the retaining pin.  Is there a trick to loosening that AC accumulator with the subframe in position.  It wasn't bad when the SF was out of the car and I had to remove the broken bolt.  But now with the SF in place I'm just not seeing any good way to go about this.  I really don't want to take SF off again.
