Is there a guide for rear subframe and arms removal?

Hi all,

After a rubbish MOT result I have advisories for some corrosion to the rear subframe and arms - something which seems very common now given the ages of these cars.

I am told by the garage that they can be cleaned up and painted as it's nothing serious.

I was just wondering if dropping these components on a driveway is a DIY job and if a guide exists on these fine forums?

My mechanical experience is not huge, until recently it has just been oil and filter changes but I've also recently replaced ARB bushes, droplinks and arms on my partners 25, which I found rather enjoyable.

Working on the rear end of the 75 looks rather less enjoyable, though.

Any thoughts and advice welcome and a guide would be awesome if one exists.
