BMR Suspension SFC005 - Manual

HEAVY DUTY BOXED SUBFRAME CONNECTORS
SFC005 – 1967-1969 Camaro and Firebird
Please read the following important information before proceeding with this installation.
• It is recommended to perform this installation on a 4 post service lift with the suspension loaded.
Two post lifts or floor jacks cannot be used because it is necessary to separate the body from the
frame during the installation.
•
This installation does not account for brake and fuel lines that may need relocation due to
interference.
Please have all the materials necessary to perform modifications to these items
before proceeding.
• While it is not necessary, to get the most out of your BMR subframe connectors it is highly
recommended to install a set of BMR’s Delrin Body Mount Bushings to further reduce chassis
flex in the vehicle.
Tools required:
o Pry-bar
o Rubber mallet
o 9/16” socket
o 15/16”, ¾” socket
o ¾” wrench
o Drill with ½” bit
Installation:
1. Before raising the vehicle it is necessary to remove the lower
portion of the rear seat to gain access to the floor pan area
under the seat. This can be accomplished by pushing in on
the front of the seat and lifting upward at the same time.
There is a seat retainer on both the driver’s side and the
passenger side that must be unfastened to lift the seat
upward. Once released, remove the seat and place aside.
2. Choose a side to begin then locate the rear-most body mount
bushing on the front subframe. Using a 15/16” socket,
remove this bolt. Loosen the next bolt forward also but do
not remove it. The subframe should separate from the body.
3. Using a pry-bar, pry the subframe down until the factory
body mount bushing can be removed. The bushing is a two-
piece design, one portion on top of the subframe and one
below.
NOTE: depending on the condition of the vehicle, this area is subject to rust and scale. Before proceeding,
inspect the area for damage and repair, if necessary.
