Hello All, 

Just done a brake delink and removal on my 5th gen and it was a real b@llache. Had to unbolt and reposition rear subframe to get the mid section proportioning valve out.

All I wanted to do is adjust the gear lever but then...

I was thinking to trial fit the CBR600 F4 subframe while everything is apart but can’t quite figure out how to remove the old subframe. It seems stuck on bits of undertray and electrics. 

Hoping to reuse use the battery tray/undertray so don’t want to butcher it. 

Any tips from those who have removed their OE 5th gen subframes? 

Thanks in advance, 

Stray

I've had the subframe off, and at a different time replaced the battery tray. Can't think of any tricks or tips to pass along though... 

I feel like it was pretty simple to separate them aside from all the wire harness bits and connections.

Thanks Kev, that’s encouraging. Will pull my finger out and get it sorted in about a week.
