Re: 69 Camaro subframe install
Subframe removal and install is a piece of cake. I have done this a number of times without any alignment issues.

Re: 69 Camaro subframe install
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

Would I be tackwelding 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.

Re: 69 Camaro subframe install
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

Re: 69 Camaro subframe install
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.
