How to take out one of the bolt from control arm
Is there any trick to take out bolt that I have circled in this pic. I was able to take out all others but don;t know how to take out this one.
What are you unable to do? Is it not moving, or are you unable to get a socket on it and turn it?
Try different combos of swivel attachments, deep sockets, extensions, and regular sockets, etc. I can't imagine it's that difficult to remove, even though it's in an odd spot. (more or less)

try what he said with different combinations, because I took mine out not too long ago to put in the energy suspension bushings when i put my coilovers in. I dont recall it being much of an issue to get that bolt out. I'm positive we used a swivel attachment though.
Hey guys, new to the forum but have owned Hondas for years.
My question is how to get this bolt back in through a new lower control arm? I have tried everything, anybody had an issue with this?
I have made sure it is lined up, I can pass a small screwdriver all the way through the control arm and control arm mounts, when I try to thread the bolt in it just spins and spins and spins.
Its also a real tight area to get a lot of pressure on the bolt.
Any ideas/suggestions ... I tried for three hours on one bolt last night...going crazy...

i took my control arm not too long ago and i remember it being the easiest thing, it was harder to get the knuckle off but like suds said use a wrench and maybe if you have someone else to help and also try loosening up the other bolt

Was not as easy as the front one, was not difficult though to remove.
russest3, did you strip the threads on the bolt, or on the subrframe? Check your threads, you may be able to repair them with a appropriate sized tap if they are damaged.
