Well, the installation of the Koni Yellows/GC Coilovers was going fine. Up front is all done. The rears however, were not so friendly. First, the pass. side shock bolt snapped while trying to get if off. Next up, the upper LCA bolt was stripping practically the entire time. Moving onto the lower LCA bolt, my ratchet snapped off...

We ended up using a SawzAll to get both the LCA's off. Definetly need some new bushings. Called NAPA and they said its a dealer only part. I have read both good and bad about ES bushings, and have also read I might as well get some brand new LCA's from Honda.

Those bolts are a BITCH!!!!

Tips/Tricks?

p.s. I was thinking about doing my trailing arm bushings while I'm at it, cause they look Nasty.

 

Bump cuz LCAs are a pain in da ***...

 

bump cos im having the same problem..... had to cut my lca's off... i actually cut one side of the lca and one side of the shock mount..
