installed B18b, replaced spindles (Axle nut would not come off/Both sides) and now the Toe if off... WTF?? any DIY advice Honda-Tech???

 

"DIY" alignment ? it's easier to pay 60-80$ and have a garage do it. or are you asking something else ?

 

I just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else.

 

Ok how do you know toe is off? If its off inward then only rotate the tie rods in 1 turn. I just wanna know how it goes off or how you know it's off

 

I had my clutch replaced a few months ago and had to get an alignment since it was off

 

I know its off because the driver side is straight and the passenger is turned to the right

 

You replaced the spindles cause the axles were stuck? Seriously never heard that in my life. Seems obvious one of the spindles was bent, mightve been from a wrecked car, first time I did my brake swap same thing happened, went back to yard and the car had rolled.

 

You're telling me that you never had an axle nut stuck.. Welcome to my world. It snows rains, snows and **** gets rusted on tight in NYC.. Now bent spindle.. I'm going to really inspect the spindle, but I truly doubt it's bent.

 

did you use a 1'' or 3/4'' breaker bar while using a crank pulley bolt holder ?. and remembered to un spike the nut...

 

Guys, you're not telling me nothing I have not already tried.. I could mail you the spindle and you can try for yourselves Ha Ha Ha

 

Use big boy tools or take it somewhere that has a decent impact.

I've never had one stuck I couldn't get off with an impact

 

I've never had one get stuck that I couldn't get off with a four foot long lead pipe on a breaker bar, and a can of WD40. Replacing the spindles is the most backasswards way to deal with a "stuck" axle nut I've ever heard of.

You replaced the spindles, and probably didn't bother marking your alignment components to make sure you put it all back together exactly as it came off. Take your car to a shop, have them align it. You can't just pull a knuckle and replace it.

 

I used "Big Boy Tools".. Funny *** dude..
I'll take it and get it aligned JBPOMAN thanks !

 

Did you use EG/DC spindles on an EK or vice versa? Because that will give you alignment issues.

 

I bought a civic one time that needed wheel bearings done, I couldn't get the axle nut off (since I lived in an apartment, no air tools) so I drive the car to a shop and they broke the nuts loose. Big boy tools wins

Hopefully an assignment fixes the problem!

 

Is it just me or is this guys attitude not going to last long here?

I live in OH, parts get stuck here, rain, sleet, snow and lightning can all be seen in the same week and worst case day... breaker bars do magical things.
Alignment.

 

Thanks for the advice guys.. I have big boy tools. I have breaker bars ang extended pipes for torque. And trust me i'm not a skinny little dude either... It won't come off.. But I got the gist of it.. An alignment is in my near future
