I plan to swap in a new gas tank. I've been reading a few threads on how to remove the s14 subframe. Can I just leave the rear suspension arms (toe, ruca, & caster), remove the bottom mount of the strut to the knuckle and drop it as a whole (wheels included)? All I plan to do is remove sway bar, driveshaft, exhaust, E-brake cables, and zip tie calipers to the struts. If anyone can confirm this will work, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you

This is how I plan to have it while removing & installing

Edit: Thanks Krappy, I forgot about the brake lines. I think I'm going to zip-tie them to the struts so I don't have to bleed them during installation.

Drop your exhaust, remove your driveshaft, disconnect ebrake cables, brake lines, take off either the upper or lower strut mount and you should be able to remove the bolts that hold the subframe on and it should drop down. Put a floor jack under your diff so it doesnt drop on you.
