DAMN! how strong are you?
you should be fine, if they are rusted/corroded, i would soak them in some wd40 and let it sit over night.

Seriously. How long does it really take to remove and replace TWO bolts on each side?

Re: removing the rear LCA on a civic?? (ek9tl)
I've been through 10 frozen bolts on EK/EG's.
Before I even break the bolts loose, I use PB catalyst (yellow can) and
soak them 20 mins. A 24" breaker bar has always loosened the bolts
for me.
Keep in mind, I live in hawaii where there is alot of salt air. I also spend
my weekends at the beach, if not driving on it.

I went to the honda dealer and got all new bolts. WD40 works failry well, but it wouldnt hurt to use a propane torch to free things up a bit, just be careful aroudn the rubber bushings and the gas tank.

Re: removing the rear LCA on a civic?? (super-hatch)
what i did the last time is since i was changing the struts and the rear LCAs i just took them off as one unit on each side. So take off the the bolt to the sub frame and the bolt to the rear trailing arm and drop the strut and LCA at once....even if you arent changing the strut too it might be easier to work on it like that anyway while its off the car if you think they will be seized...
