I was in the process of swapping out my rear lower control arms on my '05 RSX when I noticed that the three bolts holding it to the trailing arm are what appears to be a 10 point. Where can I get this socket,and please don't tell me to bang another socket over them. I know there has to be a socket that fits this bolt perfectly, even if it is a dealer only part.

 

I didn't have the socket, and used a pipe wrench. It worked fine, since I was not reusing those bolts.

If you want the socket, I'm sure you could find a used one, or purchase one new, from SPC.

 

I thought most LCA's came with one...

I know for sure the Skunk2 LCA's include this tool. Try NAPA or AutoZone.

 

i bought mine off of SPC... i paid retail... but im never gonna sell it.. and someone around here needs to use it, rent it!

 

A little off topic, but what does changing your lower control arms do? Like whats the benefit aside from extra clearance/adjustment for real lowered cars?

 

Benefits...bling factor...and thats about it. I got the old bolts off using a torch, a 17mm impact socket, a hammer, and an impact gun...I was going to make this my last option, and well it came to that. I am going to purchase the 10 point socket set that SK makes, for the future. My parents own a garage, so I knew that the pounding socket/impact trick would work, but I thought I could find a 10 point socket somewhere. Not even my local Honda dealer had one? Anyways...Thanks to all who posted!

 

my skunk2 lca's came with the tool. Im pretty sure you can find one at autozone or a store similar to it

 

i found one at napa

 

I have new 10 point 8mm and 10mm sockets for sale, $125 shipped for the pair

 

wow, didnt know 2 sockets can cost this much
not trying to flame...just thought its cool

 

Lol

 

I dont even know if these are the right sizes or not, but 10 point hardened sockets are very hard to find and pricey.

 

spc sells it or just go to club rsx it on the main page..$25 buy save it or lend to a friend.

 

http://www.ebay.com/ Search 10 point Honda socket It says 20mm but it measures 16.2mm across the flats. I purchased the SPC socket and it is the same size.
Koken makes both a 16mm and a 14mm for European use.

 

How about posting the number on the SK 10 point socket set.

 

Next time please just PM the person you wish to get the info from instead of bringing up a thread that has been dead for a couple of months.

Thanks
