Can some body tell me how to changue my front stuts on a 1990 CRX i already changue the ones in the back but the ones in the front are a nightmare i was wondering if sombody can help out how to get me off

 

What is a nightmare about them? What can't you do?

 

This is my first honda im just to work with my MR-2 so i don't really know anything about hondas !!! thats why it a nightmare for me ...

 

Can any body show me how to changue the front stuts on my CRX !!!

 

hey, stop pressuring, NO PRESSURE!

Look in the CRX FAQ posts (the first post in this forum)...there are a couple of links in there to download a shop manual for the 88-91 crx. That should have the pocedure outlined with torque specs included, exactly the way Honda would have it done.

I dont have the link or I'd just give it to ya, but looking through those FAQs will turn you on to a few other answers to questions you are bound to need at some point...they've helped me out alot.

 

Thnks ...

 

Jack the car up and put it on jackstands. Remove wheels/tires. Take the nuts off where the strut towers are and take that long *** bolt off on the strut fork. After you jiggle that around and get the whole strut/spring assembly out, you're set.

 

i did all that all ready but i cant get the stuts of the vertical strut i dont really know if the stuts are going to come off from the front or from the back !!!

Eh?

 

Just unbolt everything and push up to compress the strut (to clear lca) and it comes out. Pretty easy. Pay attention to left and right when reinstalling.

 

everything is off but the stuts thats what i was trying to said !!!

 

Does any body have a pic how to get the Stuts off the main plate !!

The rotor doesn't have to come off. Remove the bolt from the lower control arm. Above that remove the bolt for the damper fork. Remove the two brakets for the brake line. Hold the piston with a hex hey and remove the nut. From inside the wheelwell push the strut up, and pull it out.

 

Thats what i did the arm is lose already but the only thing that i am missing is the little plate that holds the stuts on the arm thats the one im trying to take off the arm ...

 

and u do have to take off the rotors !!!
