Re: High mount brake stop light ~ not working

The brake light sockets and lights came out easily.

I haven't looked at the headlights yet.

Re: High mount brake stop light ~ not working

The crescent wrench just gave me leverage to turn the socket with my fingers and it's fine.

The 21 watt light was burned out, so I ordered a 7 watt led to replace it.

Re: High mount brake stop light ~ not working

The cord unplugged, but the light socket assembly won't push in and won't turn.

Should I try a wrench on it?

Re: Default [FAQ] How-To: Change your Civic Manual Transmission Fluid

Either 1/2" or 3/8" tubing should be fine, and a funnel that fits in the tubing.

Re: Need help to convert cruise control button to kill switch

The kill switch turns off the injectors.

My car information was already in the first post.

Re: dirty drum brakes

Thanks much for the help! I used the cleaner and just avoided the ends of the cylinders. The buildup wasn't as bad as I thought.

Re: dirty drum brakes

Okay, thanks very much.

Is it okay to use water on the cylinders (to protect them), and brake cleaner on the rest?

Re: How do you measure a steering wheel?

I ordered a 350mm steering wheel, and it came in a 320mm box.

The inside diameter is 320mm (10.5").

What is the correct way to measure a steering wheel?

Re: 99 civic ~ hub for 5 bolt steering wheel ?

I got this message from one of the sellers today.


I think the universal fit doesn't help, because Honda hubs are built into the steering wheel as one piece.
