I intend to have the front sub-frame powder coated.

However the front mounts (part 91281, see attached photo) seem to be impossible to remove without destroying them.

Is there some trick to removing them? The steel sleeve through them doesn't want to move at all, and heating these sufficiently to allow their removal on all the other rubber bushes has destroyed them. They seem to be in good shape and useable.

Can they be left in while the frame is powder coating without causing the rubber to deteriorate?


The front coil spring seats (part 91315) are extortionately expensive ~ roughly $170 for two. Mine look pretty bedraggled and I'd like to replace them too. Are there alternatives (I noticed TR6s use a similar seat and wondered if it might fit/work); or maybe a more economical US supplier?
