Rear UCA removal

I recently had to do this job on my white one. I just dropped the three bolts that hold the sub frame on that side of the car to drop it just enough that I could get a wrench or socket in there. Worked out fine for me. Remember there are keepers on the nuts so you only have to get something on the bolt itself. You can barely get your hands in there to put the nut back in place with the new arm but it can be done. It's really not that difficult of a job

Thanks for the tip on only removing the bolts on one side. I'll give that a try next time I work on the car. Are the keepers on both bolts or only the one that faces the rear of the car?
I was able to get a socket on the bolt the last time I tried, but the ratchet had a limited range of motion, so I couldn't break the bolt loose.

I did a clutch on my Scion at home on jackstands years ago, instead of removing the whole subframe I loosened all the bolts just to drop it about 2-2.5 inches and gave me enough clearance to get everything done. Looking at the rear of the SC same concept should work to get access to the UCA bolts.
