Hey Pelican -
I dropped my subframe a while back following your steps and it really helped quite a bit, even with my Bentley manual in hand.
My question is about the steering column grommet - the two piece rubber/plastic cover that fits up to the oval cutout in the firewall. I must have dislodged it while raising the subframe back up - any advice how to reinstall it into position? Is the thinner rubber bit supposed to wedge between the stiffer cover and firewall?

Thanks,
ZP

Push it into the body from the interior of the vehicle. Set the sheet metal of the body into the lip of the grommet.
