Rear Subframe Exhaust Bracket Broken

[AndyG]

The exhaust mounting bracket on the rear subframe has broken and will need to be welded. As it's the right hand side I'm concerned how close to the petrol tank it is and wondering how easy it is to just remove the subframe arm and then get welded. I've removed the whole rear subframe and diff before but not just one part.

I'm guessing I remove the exhaust, trailing arm and handbrake cable then remove the subframe arm. Has anybody done this is it a tricky job any advice would be appreciated. the exhaust knocking is driving me mad so need to get it done and don't really want to risk welding in place if you can even get to it or taking the whole rear end off.

Thanks in advance

I have a broken spare arm off the car. the original bracket is welded o. the top and a bit on the side. LD Parts used to sell new brackets once upon a time but I haven't seen them on the website in years. my son made a print in solid works. but it's not done yet

The brackets were the ones from LD Parts but I think when they were welded on was not done great and have broken off. Should I clamp the spring before removing the trailing arm ?

I have subframes if you just want to fit another one
