any got a write up of how to take LCR out of a 98 Civic? Im having trouble. One of the bolts is stuck. theres no nut, its a cylider pieice with 3 spot welds. How do i get this out! please help

 

bump!!!!

 

What's an LCR? Do you mean LCA?

 

Yes my fault, sorry. LCA

 

can you inform us on what part it is on? Is it on the brake hub or more in on the car? If on the car, is it the front or rear part?

 

Its on the lower control arm. It is not the bolt holding the shocks, its over to the right more under the brakes.

 

bump. i know people have done th is

 

if its under the brakes, its the lower ball joint. Take the nut off. After you take the nut off, take a mallet and UV joint puller, and you are all set.

OP - you've got to be smarter than this. Tell us whether or not it's front or rear, which bolt you're talking about and why you're having problems. We're not ******* mind readers. You can't expect "quick help" if you misspell the part you're needing help with and leave out all pertinent information related thereto.

Now, for your answer since you were too ******* lazy to search and find the answer in one of the 850 topics dedicated to this cause, you're going to want to cut the welded nut off the hub assembly so that you can remove the LCA from its perch. You can do this with an angle grinder, a sawzall, a Dremel (this would take forever) or you can drill out the spot welds. I, personally, use a reciprocating air hammer with a chisel bit, but you don't have one of those, so it's a moot point.

Once you have the LCA out, get all the bushings pressed out by a machine shop and have new ones pressed in. The bolt you're frustrated with is seized to the inner bushing collar. You would know all of this, by the way, had you searched before you started breaking ****.

Have a nice day, noob.

 

thanks dude, sorry i was in a ******* rush to finish my car to pick up my mom at the hospital. i am putting control arms in that have the bushing. And i didnt break anything pal.
