Question Order of Operations to change subframe + crossmember

Hey guys,
I've got 05 impreza RS 2.5 auto that has some rust issues. I'm going to swap in a clean crossmember/subframe. Does anyone know the sequence of parts removal that I need to follow? Just a high level list would be helpful. I'm working on the ground if that matters.

Thanks

Front or rear, best to reference the service manual that's readily available on the internet.

U subframe, center jackplate, control arms, swaybar, steering rack, loosen pitch stop, slightly lift the engine so it's weight is off the subframe and then remove subframe. Pretty much anything mounted to the underside of the subframe. Be careful loosening the 4 bolts so you don't break the welds of the nuts inside the chassis.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Only thing I'm not clear on is the first item....what is the "U subframe".
