Im in the middle of my ls swap into my del sol, here are the problems im having:

1. Driver side axle nut refuses to come off, broke 2 breaker bars trying


2. In separating the ball joint from the lower arm, i broke the grease seal for the balljoint. Where can i find these?

Other than that, the swap has been easy so far. Thanks in advance

 

The seals, you can get from the dealer. or http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. Also, you will have to get a bigger, stronger breaker bar. I'm not trying to be a smart ***, but trust me, you can get it off. Also try heating the nut with a propane torch. I used a 1/2" ratchet with a 4 ft steel pole as a breaker, and i got it off. GOod luck!

 

Mine was easy...used a Impact gun...good thing 2 have...

The first thing I do when I swap a motor is loosen the axle nuts, while the car is still on the ground. I also just use a 1/2 in ratchet and a pipe for better leverage.

If the car is already up in the air, just have someone step on the breaks while you loosen them.

 

Seriously, one time i had dremeled that bolt off. Took a couple of hours!!!

 

I hope to get to use urs from my swap...heh
