Post subject:  Removing rear subframe mount

Hi,

Dropped rear subframe from mini van today and went to remove subframe mounts. Discovered that the front mounts have what looks like a plug with 2 holes on end of the mount shaft and I have no idea how these can be remove to take off the mount.

The shaft the mount sits on simply spins when I use molys and I don't have adjustable grinder spanner (not that I think that would help).

Clearly I'm missing something, any help would be great ?? I can post picture if not clear in case this is model specific.

The back mounts were nuts and easy to remove.

Thanks in advance.

The round thing is the head of a `mount pin', ie. it is a glorified bolt.
There is a nut inside the subframe when you clear all the crud away.

An angle grinder key / tool makes a useful holding devide for the trunnion pin when loosening the bolt.
