Use a lift with lifting table and guide pins. Apply the lifting table against the sub-frame.

NOTE:

Ensure that the lifting table is centered under the subframe for optimal weight distribution. Check that the lifting table is correctly applied against the subframe.

Remove the 3 screws on both sides.

Carefully lower the subframe approx. 100 mm.

Install a tensioning strap around the subframe and lifting device to make sure that the subframe does not fall off.

Lower the sub-frame.

CAUTION:

Ensure that no cables / hoses are trapped when lowering the subframe.
