When I tried using a pry bar to pry down the subframe it started leaking power steering fluid from the top of the rack where the steering joint goes in.
At leaked so much fluid while I had it pried open to get that mount out. It stopped leaking when I put the subframe back up so I hope that it's not going to start leaking more later.
Did none of you guys have that problem?

I didn't need to force down the subframe. I must have loosened the steering rack. When you observe so much force is needed, best to pause and re-assess the situation. Having to use a pry bar would make me worry something is not right
