It sort of goes without saying that you’ll have to disconnect everything that runs from the body to the subframe, ie exhaust, fuel and water lines, electrical, throttle, shift, and speedo cables, brake lines, etc. I punch marked the steering shaft at the slip yoke so I’ll be sure to get it back in “clocked” in the same position. I’m redoing EVERYTHING so I didn’t spend a lot of time marking too many things for reconnecting. I did make notes as to the connection of the hydraulic lines for power steering and brake. Once everything is disconnected it’s time to support the frame of the main body of the coach. This is done right behind where the subframe is connected. I have a pair of big jack stands that worked fine. There are two places on each side where the subframe is bolted to the main frame as well as one on each side up in the front where it attaches to the frame of the front cap. Lower the coach and put a little weight on main jack stands and stop. Get stands ready to support the subframe and remove the bolts holding it to the body frame rails. I left one bolt on each side in the back to keep an eye on things as it came apart. The front fiberglass section will sag down a bit so the bolts won’t want to come out easily. Due to the front bumper mounts sticking out of the fiberglass the subframe has to be moved back before it can come down. I had it blocked up on car wheel dollies in order to be able to move it, once clear I removed the blocks and dropped it down as low as I could.
