I am wanting to replace my RTABs while leaving the arms on the car.

Does anyone have one I can borrow?

I can send you a deposit if need be.

brass hammer bro. trust me. did it on my civic and my sisters db7. works all the time.

 

Hmm... I tried hitting with the hand sledge yesterday, she did not move...

 

brass hammer, watch youtube videos, you hit it out one way.

 

I must not be as talented/good looking/smart/cool as you...

You come over and do it, I buy you cheezeburger.

 

I got that tool. If you were closed by you can borrow it. Dont know how far away you are. Im in southern indiana.
i guess i could ship it. Kinda heavy though.

 

I'm down with that. Just buy me a plane ticket.

 

Thanks man, I will PM you.

 

Plane ticket AND cheezeburger? Oh man...

 

Is your trailing arm rusty or something? Before removal mark or make alignment marks. When hammering out, you hammer from behind the arm. When installing you hammer it in use the alignment marks and hammer it in from the front.

 

Or remove all material from the arm and ship them to me?

 

Once you get back to me with info. Ill ship it out to u tomorrow.
with the tool its super easy.

 

Ah, the videos I saw showed people hammering from the outside of the arm toward the center of the car. Sounds like you are doing the opposite?

 

Oh thanks man! If I pulled the arms from the car I would take them in to a place with a press. I appreciate the offer!

 

Thanks @civic402lx - the Schley tool is the bomb.

I wouldn't want to replace the RTABs without it!

 

Glad it help you. So much easier with the tool, right?

 

100%! I will get it shipping back to you.

Thank you again.

I can see why they charge $130 to $170 for this tool, it is definitely a professional grade tool, but it just doesn't make sense for me to drop that coin and then have the tool sit on my shelf for a decade...

 

Yeah, there was a online tool rental site ran by members of team-integra.net. Best idea yet. You pay a deposit, they ship, you ship back, you get refunded deposit.

 

These guys?

Pretty cool idea!

 

At the time the schley tool wasn't available and I couldn't wait since a timeline of when it was going to be avail was made. So I amazoned a bronze hammer.

 

i felt the same at first. Then i figured, why the hell not, i going to have more civics in my time. Easier with the tool.
the 2nd time i used it was last summer on my oled eg sedan right before i sold it. Sooner or later my current civic will get the same treatment.

 

bushing upgrades make it worth it I guess.

 

Im considering hardrace bushings but i feel tis lil "over kill" for an auto DD. I need to get the rear lca bushings done though. Already found the outter/ first bolt on the lca is damn seized to the bushing's sleeve.. both side, same location. Oh joy...

 

Everything came down to cost and availability. PIC/Suja1 bushings for me. Its overkill but it beats paying high dollar amt for oem.

 

Are pic/suja1 even available anymore? Picperformance website only show product info. Doesnt say where to order or if its even available.
