You'll want a 10 mm flare nut wrench when taking off/tightening the brake lines to avoid stripping the flare nut.

You're also going to need a Torx key four the four star bolts inside the trailing arm, if you are just taking the spindles. Make sure you get the ebrake cables, and the brakelines.

i found it much easier to take the hole trailing arm spindles shocks springs sway bar and ebrake lines at once.

easy to do:
1)remove ebrake lines by pulling out center console and unbolting lever then push through

2)unbolt lca's pull out shocks

3)unbolt sway bar

4)unbolt trailing arm

5)unbolt top of spindle

6)do the same thing to your car then reasemble in reverse

for the e-brake cables you're going to have to get the e-brakes for your model car that came with rear disc brakes. don't be ghetto and use it from another car. they're not even that expensive so just buy them from the dealer.

On the back of the trailing arm you will see four holes going around the nut for the spindle. Inside those four holes are located poossibly the most annoying bolts Honda uses, they are like Alan bolts, but star shaped instead. They strip real easy and are a pain to get to, especially if the car isn't on a lift.

It's just a good idea to follow this rule as sometimes it will work(in your friend's case) and most times it will not. If you have an ek and your swapping a rear disc from an si, use si. eg- SHOULD USE 92-95 cables that came with rear disc.

integra e-brake cables will work, the only reason you can't use civic ones is because they are too short. You might also want to invest in an air compressor and an impact wrench if these bolts are over 10 years old.

for this conversion you need different brake lines or can the drum brakelines be used?

You need the ones from a disc set up, the drums use a hardline that goes to the drum, the disc use a flexline.
