How To Remove An Evo 8/9 Front Subframe - Step By Step

[@BboyMobster]

That side subframe bolt I thought I was weak! I couldn’t get it for the life of me. Thank you for the video. I’m going to attempt this tonight. I want to change steering bushings, steering tie rods and sway bar. I have not seen any of my bolts come off easy and my evo isn’t rusted!

[@RyneDickens]

Thanks for checking it out! Yea they can definitely be deceiving haha! I’ve had some that didn’t look bad at all and it take forever to get them off! Hope you’re able to get them all off and swap out your stuff! 🤘🏼

Loving it mate. Keep up the good work.

[@RyneDickens]

Thanks man!! Appreciate that! 🤙🏼🤘🏼

Great video again good sir - got the subframe out. New subframe in along with new bushings etc. Hope I can get that new Evo steering feel again :)

[@RyneDickens]

Thanks man, appreciate it!! Niice, I bet it’ll feel night and day!

[@timmurrayy]

Man you made the column look easy. I read the how-to’s and they didn’t make a lot of sense so I though F that and I ended up taking the rack off the subframe which now looking at this was FAR harder. I might drop the rack, which is just hanging now, and bolt it all up on the floor before I refit it. You released this at a good time man!

[@RyneDickens]

Thanks man, appreciate that! Was a little anxious about it going into it but it wasnt’t bad! Oh wow! I bet that was super hard! How did you get to the bolts and stuff?! Well, glad the video helped out at least a little haha!!

[@timmurrayy]

@@RyneDickens With great difficulty!! I dropped the shaft out of that spline yesterday the same way you did and dropped the rack out. Seeing it all out now I am not sure it's the best way though - the manual in the Power Steering chapter shows that it's to be broken at the splined knuckle with the 13mm bolt that's hidden inside the concertina rubber boot. It's easier to re-align as there's markings on the metal. I guess either could work and there's pro's and cons to both. See how we go getting them back together I guess!

ACD line routing is either for cooling, or a carry over from the JDM/Euro cars where the ACD pump is mounted in the rear and the lines run through the tunnel from front to rear.

[@RyneDickens]

Ah you know what, cooling is most likely the reasoning for that, I didn't even think about that at the time!

[@Ivn_IX]

@@RyneDickenshave you thought about deleting the acd unit? I been wanting to do this to mine por simplicity.

[@RyneDickens]

@@Ivn_IX I actually did remove the acd unit, all the wiring and lines that came with it as well! Went with a Stage 2 Non Acd one!

What size is that nut your were having a issue with I'm removing my evo 8 subframe and I know the two bolts are 14mm not sure what size are the two nuts that are up front.

[@RyneDickens]

Oh man..I’m not sure I’ll have to look and let you know. Been so long ago I don’t remember either 😂 I wanna say 17 but I’ll look and comment back

[@markjones5649]

Before I remove my subframe where is best to put my Jack to support the engine? Any info is appreciated and great video 🙌🏻

[@RyneDickens]

I’m not 100% sure honestly, I used the engine support beam to help hold mine up now that everything is out. I don’t like the idea of just a Jack on the oil pan but if you put a piece of wood on the Jack to help distribute the weight / pressure it should work but 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@markjones5649]

@@RyneDickens that’s what I was thinking. Might invest in the support bar. Thanks dude 🙌🏻

[@RyneDickens]

Yea man! It’s worth it IMO, that one was only like $80 or so from Harbor Freight and it seems pretty dang strong 🤷🏼‍♂️ I will say tho, the angle is kinda weird on the car, I’ve only got the clutch side supported by it right now.

[@markjones5649]

@@RyneDickens thank you so much for all information you’ve given and the quickness with your replies, there a god send 🙏 will let you know how I get on 👍🏻

[@RyneDickens]

@@markjones5649 No problem!! Hope it goes well for you!! 🤙🏼

Do i have to disable the airbag sensor before removing the steering rack and How do i avoid damaging the steering ribbon?

[@RyneDickens]

I would, just in case. My battery was already fully unhooked so I didn’t think to mention it. But yea , any sort of work on the car I always undo the battery. Also, what do you mean the steering ribbon?

[@ShawnJackson-u5m]

@@RyneDickens i think the ribbon has something to do with the horn

[@larrypuppies9265]

How many turns does an Evo 8/9 steering each have?

[@RyneDickens]

I’m assuming you mean that in the literal sense but I am not sure to be honest! I know evos have a pretty low turn radius but I’m not sure on that one haha!

[@EvoBlk]

That one you were having a hard time with started to spin on me. Any idea on how to fix that?

[@RyneDickens]

The stud itself or the nut?

[@EvoBlk]

@@RyneDickens I got it, but the nut was hard to get to lol
