yeah its the smoothest and cleanest way to just drop the subframe. it makes it better in the end

since your going back together and not needing to come apart do this. install engine from the top. On the subframe there are 3 bolts on each side remove both middle bolts. then loosen the front bolts about 15 threads. then loosen the rear bolts all the way to where only a few threads are holding, at this point the cradle will be at its full tilt position to allow much easier access for installing the trans.

On a side note if anyone ever noticed why the front and rear bolt are so long and why the front bolt is a 2 threaded piece design was to specifically do this procedure.

When coming apart removing the cradle can be easy, but i would have disconnected the lower ball joint and let the knuckles hang.
