ping glen - 1st gen LHS, engine subframe bushings

nope came off easily with a breaker bar, the bolts are pitted and somewhat
rusted though from Florida weather and Colorado winter roads (previous owner
lived out in the sticks. after buying it I moved down here in the land of
sweat and humidity) so i'll need to replace those this week.

Even though you'll probably never need to replace them again, you will
put anti-seize on the new bolts?
