If the cage nuts look rusty, tack the brackets (nut holder) with a mig prior to taking them off, let em soak in a good oil as well prior to removal

Jim,

Can you elaborate on this for me? Would I be tack
welding the cage nut to the bracket prior to removal just
to be safe? Can you get access to all 4 of the cage nuts
in this manner ( for welding )? It's an interesting point
you make.

I have taken apart tons of subframe cars and have NEVER spun the bird cage that holds the nut. If you are concerned soak the bolt down with PB Blaster. Don't worry, be happy..BKH

I also had no problem with my 69 Camaro Subframe, had some help from an experienced suspension guy when taking it apart. He didn't mention any issues, course I never asked either, wasn't aware of it being an issue. My car was in very good condition to start with though.
