hey guys im going to pull a part
i am looking to pick up the rear brake setup off a integra
wanted to know what tools i need and what year should i grab also i am buying aftermarket rear controll arms so should i take that off too

i guess what im asking is what year, what tools and what to take or leave

last ? i wanna upgrade my fronts too i heard some civics are good for that
can someone give me info on that too?

 

you are prob. better off pulling them off of a CRX. you will have more options when it comes to the rear trailing arm bushing. I have rears off a '93 DA and all I can really do is poly or stock. If I had CRX rear disc assy. I could do the rear bearing deal. As far as all the other components such as LCA, toe/camber adj. use stuff for your year civic.

 

We have a search feature for a reason. 2/3 of those questions are guaranteed answered in at least 5 threads. If they aren't completely verbatim then at least you can kind of just read what parts they are using.

 

See I hate people that would rather tell others to use the search. Call it lazy on there part for not wanting to share info. Think its just as lazy as not using the search button in the first place. if you cant answer the question, save your two cents about search and dont post on his thread.

 

i think its lazy when you get on a forum to ask what tools you need to pull rear discs.

 

You have to teach them one way or another, they have a "Search" feature for a reason, so you don't have to spoon feed everyone 24/7 and so they themselves become better at their own hobby.

 

ok...
number one i was asking what size socket. so i didnt show up with my whole f ing tool box .


number two i really needed to know the year. and some good advice on what works best

and

number 3 i should have spent more time searching instead of looking for a quick answer. ill give you that.
but for the people telling me its called search... the time it took you people that told me that,, to read, and to post that "i should have searched" im glad i just wasted 5 mins of your life

 

**** i don't care helping out peeps even though the search is out there. makes it easyer to find info instead of comming accross 20 question threads w no answers.

you can use any rear discs from any civic/integra from 88-00.

you'll need to find crx rear e brake cables regardless of what disc swap you use if you have a crx,
you can use integra coupe cables for hatch backs,
and for sedans you need sedan e brake cables.

for the swap you get the rear trailing arm. you use your stock civic LCA, toe adjuster, and upper control arm.

you'll need the usual 10/12/14/17/19, a ratchet, preferably a 12 &14mm ratcheting box wrench, atleast a 6" extension if not more, a 10 mm brake line wrench, some pb blaster, some pliers and a braker bar.

you'll mainly need a 14mm socket for the lca/uca bolts, however you'll need either a 17 or a 19mm socket for the two bolts holding the main bushing to the frame. the ratcheting box wrench is for the toe compensation bolt since there's like no room. the 12mm box wrench is for getting the parking brake cables undone.

 

Well guys, this is a forum and there's going to be a ton of threads and a ton of the same questions. There won't be a "new" problem in this section of the forum because most of it is covered. Starting a new thread and asking a question isn't a bad thing at all; I don't understand why people get so upset about people being lazy or of some sort: just don't reply and continue on to the next thread instead of bashing someone. The thread will just go straight to the bottom of the forum. Simple enough.

I can agree with DCRB with tools and of course as always: a lot of time. I always had particular trouble taking the ebrake cables out because of the way the gas tank was in the way. Maybe it's different with the Integra though. I would start with taking the bolts off from near the front of the vehicle of the trailing arms (not sure what it;s called) so when you get to the knuckles and all that it'll come right off.

 

i just disconnect the cables fully from the trailing arms, take the trailing arm off, then take the cables off. then re install opposite, doing the cables last. they honestly get in the way

 

Maybe I could try that next time. Sounds easier for sure.
