how do you remove the subframe of a P11 GT?

The subframe supports partly the engine, the steering rack and most of the suspension. After you've unbolted all of this, the subframe is only held in place by 4 big nuts and 2 brackets.

The steering rack pinion joins to the steering column through the bulkhead,it's clamped together by a bolt.You need to remove the plastic cover (4 nuts) and 2 clips and lift it away.Make clear alinement marks on the pinion and column (using paint) before disconnecting this will ensure you get it back on the same position.From inside the car you'll see a plastic cover around the bottom of the steering column,you may need to remove that also,just depends,this gives you more clearance to pull through the rack pinion and then clamp it,only loosely put in the rack bolts when doing this,if you put them in all the way you don't get enough movement on the joint to clamp it.You'll see what I mean when you do it.
