Yip ******* tight, and when I put the bolts back on a rusted subframe it was even worse . . but get a big ******* wrench on there and you'll be alright

lefty loosey worked a treat, and it aint half heavy. by picking my cat up in one hand and subframe in the other i estimate it the subframe to weigh in at one and a half cats
