Is there an easy way to get to the bolts without dropping the sub frame? Can the sub frame be partially lowered to access the bolts? It looks like you can get to one bolt easy enough but the aft bolt is tucked away.

 

Yes.

Drop the subframe a few inches.

Use every 3/8" extension ever made, along with U-joints and patience/cunning and get the rear bolts out from the top.
