So you didn't have to disconnect the tie rod ends or the steering intermediate shaft? Every procedure I've read so far says to do those steps.

2. ya the cradle has to drop. but its just 3 bolts on each side. and then there are 3 bolts for a mount thats attached to the cradle. pull them too, drop it
heres how i did it basically. there wont be pictures since i already installed them
1. lift front of car off the ground, supper each side with jackstands in a secure spot and remove jack. obviously dont put the jack stands on the subframe.
2. remove tires (optional) just makes life easier.
3. put jack in the middle of the subframe. near the back of it. you'll see where.
4, there is a... 22mm? bolt that goes through the control arm, sub frame, and then into the car. pull them on each side
5. then after those there are 2 little.... 15mm? bolts, pull those.
6. slowly lower the jack so the subframe and the engine fall down
7. there is also 1 bolt and 2 nuts that hold down a tranny mount i believe. i pulled that so that it just moves a bit.
8. remove endlinks.
9. pull the swaybar brackets... 15mm? bolt i believe. easy to pull
10. remove swaybar
11. do reverse and tighten everything
any questions feel free to ask, ill try my best
