Re: Help needed for GSR BB installation (BANNED_ID)
i have changed bb/master cylinders on civic coupes with motor in car. takes patience. if you are having clearance issues, you might want to drop motor a bit by loosening both driverside mounts and a/c bracket

when i installed a 98 GSR booster in a CX hatch, I unscrewed the hook thing that attaches to the pedal and it slid right in. No removing or unbolting engine. I didnt even take the BB and MC apart.

If you're having that much trouble. I suggest you remove the driver's side engine mount and let the engine drop a few inches so the BB will clear the intake manifold.

You can do it yourself and no you don't need a engine hoist. Just put a floor jack under the oil pan when you drop the engine to brace it(I've done this countless times). No air gun needed unless you're in a hurry. simple ratchet set will do.
BTW remove BOTH driver's side engine mount. Not just one.

Re: (Lord Helmet)
FYI...that looks like a 94-97 integra BB....which means you got to use the 94-97 MC, which doesn't bolt to the flare screws on the lines. one of the holes are larger on the MC.
the only BB/MC combo that bolts onto the EG is the 98-01 Integra or 99-00 Si. Just minor rebending of the lines but all lines bolt to the MC.

You dont need to remove the axle.......... just put a jack under the oil pan (with something inbetween so you dont damage your oil pan) and loosen the 2 driver side engine mounts and let the jack down a little.
That should bring down the intake manifold enough to squeeze that bitch in there.
I have a 00 si bb and mc in my 00 dx hatch and it went in without a problem, I just had to seperate the mc from the bb.......... so i don't really know why you're having problems..........
