Thanks JuhaV,
I am almost there. Everything that I thought would be difficult to undo has been much easier, even the bolts with the 6mm allen key ends!!
Found that 'Plus Gas' still exists! Bought an aerosol can when we were down in Cornwall, seems to work MUCH better than WD40.
The bush pulling tool is now completed (my toolmaker at work did a few hours of subcontracting for BMW!!).
Still in 2 minds about dropping the subframe completely, but I have an old supermarket bakers trolley that I use to wheel about machinery & it just slides over the top of my trolley jacks front wheels. my main concern is preventing damage to the rear disc backing plates when lowering the subframe. The trolley should keep it well off the ground & easy to manoeuvre from beneath the car, solving the other problem that worried me (getting the damn thing from under the car).
Would post some photos if i knew how.
