Default replacing front sub frame on coupe?

Alright well for some reason the long bolt holding the front LCA's on through the sub frame are def stripped out. I think there is a welded on nut that you cant see or get to, but it might have broken off! Anyway basically i need to replace the sub frame! Is it possible? and if so how hard because i dont have the best of tools or work environment so! any help appreciated thanks!

I just had the sub-frame to my Si replaced. I think that it wasn't too difficult, but having a lift is really helpful to the project. Otherwise, my car feel great now. The u-joint in the steering column of my old setup was really tired and loose.

If the motors in the car ill give it a 7 out of 10 if the motors out of the car ill give it a 6 out of 10. Its not hard as much as time consuming and having to break really hard bolts loose.

Why not cut a grove under the nut and replace it? Much easier then replacing the subframe.

A tech at the dealership did it for me afterhours... I paid him $150 which included an alignment.
