ya me lol

 

lol ya you. thanks again btw.

 

no worries i just knew you would come to this post haha

 

just found the A+ write-up!

 

How would you prevent the ball joint bolt from spinning when attaching the nut? I had to redo bushings and I left the old ball joint on. Now I am stuck midway unable to tightnen or to loosen due to the bolt rotating in place.

Put pressure on it by using a prybar.

 

Really nice write up !

 

hey great write up (i remember reading this a few months ago)...but the link doesn't work anymore!

 

someone should this fix link! thanks!

 

X2 Im gettin ready to do upper and lowers on the front and rear

 

damn guys i totaly forgot about this thread. did anyone ever print it out? I changed the name of my bussiness and also changed the website. So if anyone has it printed out can they scan it or something. I still have the pictures on the computer. I just cant remember how i had everything worded.
Sorry guys

 

great i dont even have the pictures now that i checked! :/

 

wait i found them!!!!!!!!!! so now i just need someone to scan there print out if anyone ever did?

 

didnt know anywhere else to post this but....i had my car in a the local honda dealership...Dont worry i only take it there cause i have a buddy that works there and is honda guru. But anyways while looking at my car said that one of my lower ball joints was spinning and i should get it replaced. I told him that they were replaced not to long ago with some no name brand balljoints cause honda wont sell just the ball joint they make you buy the whole knuckle. well he informed me that this was incorrect they just dont sell the ball joint to the public for some dumb reason. so at last i have a parts number for OEM honda prelude front lower ball joints. Which will fit both 4th and 5th gen

P/N: 04510-SL5-000 Ball joint kit. $36.46

EDIT: just realized this has been posted in other places...looks like this is old news sorry people haha

 

^^^^^ yes thats good info, i just swapped the crappy ebay ones that i was installing in this diy with those honda ones. great ball joints for very cheap.....

 

great write up!
