I've never seen a removable rear subframe in these cars.

Here are the steps I followed:

1) Take off what is in the way of the tank.

2) Take off what is connected to the tank.

3) Take off what holds the tank in the car.


I already had the exhaust off, and had taken out the rear end, so that probably helped.

If you need more details than that, you should probably get a shop manual.
