Lowered
 

Had a good weekend with the wagon.

Fixed the transmission. The solenoid was out. Works like a charm now.
Dropped the front down low. The stock strut was 18" tall, I measured the F&F out to 14 1/2". Was going to do the rears, but the bolts are rusted, any ideals?
I used a ratchet, wrench, heat gun, Dewalt electric impact, and a break bar. Also soaked it in WD-40. No luck.

Type 1s or Type 2s?

Re: Lowered
 

Breaker bar with 5-foot pipe always has worked for me even when the impact wouldn't.

Re: Lowered
 

When I had the same issue trying to remove mine w/ a breaker bar and 4 foot pipe, I ended up getting new bolts and cut the old one off. It took all of 10 sec to cut the bolt than the 15 min I tried different ways to get the rust loose.

Re: Lowered
 

Try another type of penetrating oil, specifically used for stuck bolts. WD-40 is awesome, but does not have the penetrating abilities of the other specific types. Spray it several times, then use the breaker bar.

This one from autozone is my favorite.

Re: Lowered
 

If the PB doesn't work with your breaker bar, etc, consider cutting the bolts.

Re: Lowered
 

Type ones.
If I cut them, would it be ok to go. To the hardware store?

Re: Lowered
 

No, dont cut them then drive to the hardware store. I cut 1, pulled it out, and drove wifes car to the hardware store.

Re: Lowered
 

Good idea to pick up some anti-sieze while at the hardware store so this doesn't happen again if you ever need to pull the struts out later on.

Re: Lowered
 

lol...

Re: Lowered
 

I used a breaker bar with a 4 foot pipe on mine and snapped the head off the bolt. LOL. Any suggestions?

Re: Lowered
 

That looks very gay.

Re: Lowered
 

I cut mine out, get new bushings too. Should be 15$ a piece then a buck or two for new bolts. It's a pain in the ass for sure.

Re: Lowered
 

Talk about a pain in the ass for sure.

We tried a saw all, burning it, breaking it, and everything else. After a couple hours we finally got them out. Luckily I had a rear poly-urethane bushing kit and already had new bolts/nuts from Honda.

Re: Lowered
 

Im sorry you dont own a wagon.

I think Ill cut it out and order new bolts and bushings. The cars got 205xxx, so time to change shit up. Also got to order new front upper ball joints.

Re: Lowered
 

a wagon..... ? why dont you sell it and get a good car?

(no beef)

Re: Lowered
 

please, take the time and enlighten us on what a "good car" is? and what makes his car bad?



PB Blaster, air impact, heat, elbow grease.

Re: Lowered
 

I want to thank everyone for the advice, the car is hr away at my parents house untill I get my DL back later next month.

I need to replace the front upper ball joints, then she should be ready for the 15x8 +20 185/55/15 rims/tires.

Cant wait to drop the rear.

Re: Lowered
 

Your the typical try and bring someone down cause it makes you feel better about your sorry self aren't cha?

And you think your 91 accord is "good" car. Thats why you have pictures of it up on your profile huh?

Whats wrong w/ a wagon getting a nice wheel and suspension combo to make it look a lil mean?

Re: Lowered
 

dont cut springs get lowering springs.

Re: Lowered
 

there not cut :D
my cb7 had progress springs and gr2s
my ce1 has f&f type ones

Re: Lowered
 

Anyone who hates on a wagon, hasn't seen one done right.
As said above, PB blaster is awesome. I'd recommend picking some up. A little PB, and a breaker bar has done the trick on both of my 6thgens. Except for the damn endlinks for the rear sway bar, but that's another story. haha

Re: Lowered
 

Those wagons are nice lowered!

Re: Lowered
 

This is how she sits right now, until I get down there.
Ill try pb blaster, but I do need to replace the bolt, she was getting a little rounded when I was trying everything to break her loose.
