i think your confused.... 10mm 1 bolt unless your car has been submerged in water for a number of years i dont see that bolt sieizing up...or maybe your using a 9mm socket and confused as to why it wont turn?? not sure...the bolt is located south of the hood release on 92-95 civics. and behind the glove box to the farest right for the 96-00 civic. but only you know what model year you have since you failed to tell us... and all 92-00 civics and 94-01 integra main relays are the same

 

its 96, the bolt is one of the bolts that been saudered on the corners and i tried a 10 but its doesnt fit, i threw a gator grip on it and torqued the bitch still i dun think it moved, i need to get that sauder off the sides, i have a sauder gun but its not even close to as hot as i need it?

there is only 1 bolt. so you are talking about something else not called the main relay... honda never welded it nor would they use solder. how do i know this? because its a part that doesnt require that extra material nor attention in keeping that bolt stuck on.

 

well its the main relay, and its saudered at the corners, it looks like it would be a 10 but i was trying it and my 10 socket didnt seem to wanna fit, ill try tomorrow again with a socket 10 see if it works, but its the main relay and its stuck on there good

Part #9 is the main relay, #17 is the bolt. Make sure we're all on the same page and trying to remove the same bolts etc.

 

its not sauderd...thats the nut that does not come off the dash skeleton...the 10mm bolt is threaded into that nut...the nut doesn come off the bolt does.

 

so is there a bolt on the other side that threads into that.. i didnt even look lol... i figured that was the bolt u have to take off ..if so...please come to my house and slap me for soundin so ******* stupid

 

yeah....its a 10mm little bolt about 1/2 inch long...i was like WTF cause ive had to replace the main relay before and thats how mine came off..and i got 96 civic

 

...i can't believe I just actually read such a dumb thread....

I'll be at your house to slap you in a few minutes (as you requested.)

 

thanks :-)

 

this thread makes me crack up

 

if your having promblems with the bolt try to tighten the bolt and then loosen it if that dont work get some nut buster to give the threads lubrication
