How is the rear subframe stud mounted into the chassis of an s14 is it welded in or is it just pressed in down through the frame rail. It's the bottom left one on the driverside.

Broke the same one.

Its pressed into a stamp, which is welded onto the frame rail. To access it from the top, you need to drill a 3" hole through 2 layers of sheet metal, compromising support.

AKA Dont snap any studs.

If I did it again, loosening those nuts would be a 4 day heat/soak process, with making darn sure they easily break free at 90lbs. If the stud is fully rotted, your essentialy screwed. One of those things you need a spare chassis and/or a good welder.
