Trying to tackle this thing but having an issue loosening the bolt on the passenger side mount to drop the subframe. Any idea how to remove the nut on it? As it's hindered by an A/C line.

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Check out the diagrams (below).
