From the inside of the car soak the stud head in PBblaster, maybe grind up some candle wax and dump it in the 2" hole. Use a torch and heat that sucker up untill it breaks the bond with the chassis. Same concept as changing out your wheel studs.
I still need to do this on my S14, which I fear is almost 2x harder to do than an S13 for the rear since you have to drill into the frame rails.
Proceed to get solid subframe bushings -not spacers and get a bolt that will fit nice and snug inside the aluminum bushing. This way you have a larger thread to work with. Maybe get a grade 10.5 bolt. Use some washers to space out the pressure
Installation is super easy, get one person in the car with a breaker bar to hold it in place, then you get under the car and torque it to spec. If it ever snaps in the future you can swap the bolt out in 5 minutes. I would leave the 2" hole -champfer the edges for paint and just put some rust bullet on that sucker. done and done
This thread should be archived - anybody know the exact point to drill on the S14 chassis for the rear studs? I thought nissan put some kind of dimple marker.
