>may need to loosen the subframe. That may be a little advanced for me as I am not even sure what area/point of the subframe I would need to loosen<
Yep! I usually stay out of these, but I don’t want to see you get into trouble. Do not jack with the subframe to chassis bolts!
On each outside-side of the core support there are two nuts-bolts that hold the front fender supports. They are the bolts noted by the arrows. Remove those nuts-bolts and remove the fender support. (If you pry upward on the core with those on place, there is a good chance that you’ll f-up the fenders.)
Pull the core bushing hardware, pry up on the core, slide the old bushing out and the new one in. I would use a rollbar, and I wouldn’t have a clue how to do it without one. You can pick up a Chinese one at Harbor Freight for about two bucks, and it would be fine for your wrenching skillset. Buy it! Once you have it, you’ll wonder how the hell you ever got anything done without it.
Merv- Thanks for the guidance and for helping to keep me out of trouble (boy do I need it!). I took a quick look at the outside areas on the core support and I don't have the fender supports that are shown in your photo, but instead there are cocktail shakers (I have a vert.) in its place. The shakers are mounted to the core support by the 2 fastening points you depict in the photo and to the fender well area. The shakers are not high enough to reach the fender. So, my thinking is that I should follow your instructions and instead of removing the fender support, I'll have to remove the shakers (I think those things are pretty heavy). I'll post a couple of pics of that area shortly. Thanks again for the help. It's much appreciated!
