REMOVING FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAMES
There's jacking points (at the from) by the sills, just use some wood to avoid damage.
When I dropped my rear beam I used some blocks of wood between the floor and the sill, it's not the most secure but avoided any damage, I believe there's jacking points right at the back, at least there is on cabbies!

I found using axle stands lined with some thick carpet worked a treat and did not damage things at all.
Try to have the rear of the car up as high as possible to make access easy….and use plenty of plus gas on the bolts for a few days before removing.
