I really need to get these two bolts out.. because my motor is coming very, very soon. And.. I'd rather it not sit in my garage for very long.

There's one bolt on the left radius rod that just won't come out. We took the arm off and tried an impact and it didn't do anything at all. I've been spraying it with PB Blaster off and on for the past couple of days hoping that it'll do something, but I'm not really sure..

Aside from using a torch, because I don't know anyone that has one, is there any way to get this damn thing out?

On to the next problem, there is a bolt on the rear motor mount. It's on the rear subframe. I guess it's called the rear subframe, I'm not really sure. The mount itself is kind of in the way, and the gap between the firewall and the actual bolt is hardly big enough to get a wrench on it.

God. I never thought this would be such a problem.

Tomorrow a friend of mine is coming with a camera, and I can take some pictures.. but.. until then I can't really do anything

Any advice is really appreciated

and also.

Where can I buy a throttlebody pulley from an LS? annnnd. I need to find fuel feed line from a fifth generation si?

Are there part numbers for these two things or what?

thannnnnks.

bump..

 

did you try using a breaker bar on the bolt? and for the rear mount use a swivel sockect or you can use a hammer and knock it side ways to get a little more room or you can lower the whole crossmember and get a regular socket in there.

 

I assume for the throttle body you are talking about the part that the cable wraps around. if yours is missing any one ( not the gsr or dx) will fit, I got a gsr throttle body, and the cable pulls from the other side so I used a crx "pulley" and spring on it and it works fine

 

We did try to use a breaker bar on the bolt on the radius rod, and that didn't do anything either. I'll have to go look at a swivel socket tomorrow, though. That seems like it just might be what I need.

I'll have to make a trip to the junkyard to try to find the pulley and spring from a CRX, but I don't remember seeing any CRX's there at alllll. If I don't find one there, would anyone know what the part number is for the spring and the pulley?

EDIT: I think it might help if someone could tell me what this part was technically called, because.. that would make looking it up incredibly easier

Thanks again guys

The way I got to the motor mount bolt you are talking about is by dropping my rack & pinion loose, and dropping down the frame the motor mount sits on. its a pain.

 

I dont think you can buy the throttle body parts separate I think it comes as an complete assembly from honda, any integra or civic (just not gsr or dpfi civic/crx) you can use the pulley and spring from, look for ones on ebay that have busted tps's nobody wants them and go for under $10, If I had one I would give it to you

 

haha.. yeahh, it was a pain, but it worked!

Thanks a lot, man

 

Okay, thanks a lot. I'll check ebay out.
