Well,
Thanks for some of the tips. I used a big pry bar and verrrry slowly tweaked the left rear tube downwards using the right only slighty for leverage, mostly using body weight. It's not perfect, but it's passable. By the way, at both rear welds where the subframe connects, the paint was cracked, but just a bit. When there's snow on the ground, I'll redo it. Now on to the steering head bearings!
