Are there any guides to replacing the front engine subframe /crossmember in the SC/Supra? I went to replace my steering rack and saw my front subframe has a crack in it from running up on the curb. If its pretty simple to do then I will do it during my evenings on the next 3 days. I'm looking for a guide that doesn't require removing the engine. Thanks

Lol come on man you already know the answer..

Since you gonna do the clutch and clean up your wiring just pull the motor out !kill 10 birds with one stone.

Wait, do you really have to pull the engine out to replace the front subframe? I apologize if that sounded dumb, but when my car was in the shop to get the fender fixed due to my wheel falling off, they replaced the subframe, and i didn't know they'd have to go through all that.

^^^Yes. The engine is mounted on the subframe. You don't even have to completely pull the engine out, just figure out a way to lift it off of the subframe so it's not resting on it. There's only 4 bolts holding the subframe to the body, 2 17mm and 2 19mm bolts. After you remove the subframe move the rack and pinion and the control arms over to the new subframe, or you can remove those prior to removing the subframe.

^^^ Yes that's what you have to do.

But in the OP's case it's a little different..Clutch, wiring, twins have to come off because he is going single turbo, etc...
