Video of LCA bushing removal - Does not even touch subrame removal
I stumbled on this video and thought I would share it. These guys figured out a way to replace the LCA bushing without even doing anything to remove, lower, or even loosen the subframe.

Many of us have seen this, and many share my view that in the hands of an unskilled DIYer it is ill-advised to be working near the engine with a blow torch.

Agreed. We've seen this video before and it's not a good idea. Removing the subframe is better.
