Your engine bay white looks like it matches a bit closer to the exterior color, you respray it?

Not yet just degreased it at this point.. going to get the subframe powdercoated along w new poly bushings then get the rest of the stuff out... plan is to paint it pearl white.. it looks a lot better in this picture to be honest

Not for long. I've been wanting to take out the subframe for PC for a long time and now I got my chance Haven't been able to separate the control arms from the knuckles yet, is there a special tool for that?

You can either pop them out with a pickle fork which will likely destroy the ball joint, or you might get lucky and be able to hit the side of the knuckle with a hammer where the ball joint is to pop it out.

or get a ball joint puller

you can rent these types of things at the parts store:

OTC 6296 Pitman Arm/Tie Rod End Puller : Amazon.com : Automotive

That works too, in my experience those are more difficult to get locally.

Actually I do have that tool and tried using it with the hubs still attached to the knuckle. It can't get close enough because of the hubs but maybe it can once the hub is out. That part of the knuckle might still be too wide to let the puller get close enough.
