tad- i am using 3/8 drive wratchets, but it hasnt broken. ive broken extensions and **** with the4 foot pipe over the wratchet handle, but the wratchet itself is still rockin. its craftsman, along with all my other tools, cause i do know that **** does sometime break and the lifetime warranty is golden. all this bullshit just cause i have a bad bushing in the upper strut mount and it bounces around when i hit bumps. i said **** it and put my strut bar on, and when i upgrade to rear disks in the next few months ill take care of it then.

I don't really get this... when I got my trailing arms/suspension off a wrecked integra every single bolt popped out with a 3/8 ratchet with about a 6 inch handle. Took me no time... I can't figure out why so many people have problems.

This happend to me, and I just went to my local mechanic and he pushed it out and put a new bushing in for $50 + Bushing($20 from Friendly Honda) + Bolt($9 from Friendly Honda).

The new bushings are nice... no more squeeks!

BTW 250flt/lb impact wrench + PB = easy to take off

We used an Air impact wrench and still couldn't get the damn thing off... Even if I did get it out I will would have had to pay for the new bushing and bolt anyways..

Also we used liquid wrench and other things like it...believe me it wasn't coming out without a hydraulic press.

so friendly has those bolts in stock? ******* honda of kingston would be like twice that price for the bolts, and i doubt they would be in stock. im gonna do a rear disc conversion sometime soon, so ill be trying it again then

coupedup

yup, I got both of mine from them, and they had the bushing and the bolt in stock. Both times I went their they had both in stock.

Some of us reside up north and have to deal with snow and salt. These two things combined cuased many headaches when dealing with exposed parts in the car.

yea those bolt seize up easy if not taken out at least 2 times a year. with all the salt and sand (us east coasters) it seizes them up and causes headaches. air tools help, but that might just break it faster than using hand tools. best thing to do is, if it moves on the first turn your in luck. if not, better off going to honda and buying 2 new ones. whne you put the new ones in, use anti-seize, works wonders....

buy a real big bottle of WD-40. let it sit, then turn left on the nut, try aything, happened to me to, kicking? hitting, pulling, anything possible

yea man. a few days ago i attempted to put on my lower tie bar on the back. the bolts that hold the inner part of the control arm on are my problem. i had the bolt moving a little(both the head and the end) but the bushing was flexing with it....stuck. ****. i packed it up and didnt even try to mess with it anymore. you put it just right- if it dont come loose on your first solid turn, then you better go buy another bolt, cause your current one is done for.
