I think DIY guide should be updated since this method seems easier and faster since there are less steps. Also I guess it is just a bad idea to remove the bearing in the first place.

Thanks for the tip on the subframe bolt. That makes sense, I am about to install sub frame spacers on my 300ZX. Supposed to be awesome suspension upgrade and takes 30 mins to do.

Important! (it is not in guide). I had to loosen subframe bolt for lower arm so I can swing it out (#6) Those bolts have to be tightened with car on a ground. When you finish with everything, push on fender few times so suspension sattles and then tighten those arms to subframe. If you tighten them on a car with suspension uncompressed - those bushings will wear out very quickly.
