The bolts in the subframe are captive - they won't come out, they are effectively studs.

If the engine is still in, you need to drop the subframe.

If you mean the 4 bolts that secure the steering rack, i found a smack from the top releases them. They have a spline that stops them from just dropping out of the subframe when the nut is removed

yer there the 1s cant really get anythink in there to hit em tho believe me ive tried lol

think it may just be as as easy to drop subframe as all the hoses are still connected and dont want to brake them  :undecided:
