How to Remove the Front Subframe on a Classic Mini 

By far, the most educational and highest quality Classic Mini video series. Please film more to address Classic Mini maintenance and upgrades - they're hundreds of thousands of viewers looking for them!

On my 63, I just undid the bolts and lines and lifted the body off the engine/sub-frame assembly and rolled it back. Easy Pezy.

Very clear instructions take care on the roads in an older car as not everything is easy to check.

One note is if you plan to remove the rubber cones it's much easier to remove them with the subframe still in the car for 2 reasons. You can use the weight of the car to help compress them and when using the notorious spring compressor you don't have to brace the subframe to stop it twisting when you compress the cones. Very well done video, great camera angles catching all the details which are so often lacking.

Excellent video guys! Extremely well put together and super informative. Thank you!

A video on replacing the engine mounts would be awesome

again... great video. I have searched for years for a video of how to remove an engine.... please do make one, will help more novice home mechanics like myself.

do you have a video for removing the steering rack from the sub frame whilst the engine and sub frame is still in the car. or a step by step guide to the steering rack removal ans replacement. Thanks David

I love your videos, they've been incredibly useful. Looking forward to more!

Thank you for all your great videos. I have followed and used your expertise to rebuild my 1976 Leyland Mini. I have a issue with tower bolts installation. I have replaced Hi/Los and rubber cones and now i cannot start the tower bolls in the thread. Is there a correct way of installing them. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, do you need to remove the whole subframe to polly bush the rubber seals between the frame and body?

Brilliant video guys, saved me a ton of time!

Great episode 👍👍

Just about to remove my subframe and the video was extremely helpful - thank you for this and all of the other videos. (I am a 61 yrs old but a complete beginner on car restoration so need all the help and simple instructions I can find) - just one point though is that you didn’t mention dis one ting the brake lies which on my car are fixed through the sub frame. I will be draining these and disconnecting them first.

Thanks, good presentation. Is there more about disconnecting the engine from the body?

many congratulations the video is exhaustive even for those who are not expert
