Is there any way to get around this? Damn thing is seized to hell.

 

i was doing my suspension this morn and i got stuck cause the rear lower bolts on the lca would not come off

now i gotta drive with front low and rear stock until i get a new bushing to replace the ones that got ripped up!

PS and the fucken bolts still did not come off

 

Sucks. This doesnt comfort me one bit.

 

this is what you do, i had the same problem with mine. the right side i just cut the bolts off, took forever, its because i had no patients. left side the lca bolt connected to the drum brake was stuck and wasn't budging and so i didn't want to cut it off like i did to the other side, so you you get a torch heat it, get some ice and cool it, then keep try to loosen it. its better if you have 2 people so when you heat it you want to put the ice on right away, also put wd40 on first before this. so you keep heating and icing it and try loosening it. keep doing this until it starts loosening. so you have to keep torching it and cooling it. it WILL work. my car can't be any worst than your guy's because mine is all rusted and everything is horrible but i still got it out with the heating and icing method.

that makes no sense.... your just expending and contracting the metal for no reason

 

where can i find the 14mm bolts for the lca's. i went to the honda dealership in town and they cost $8 each and majestic honda has them for $5. anywhere else short of the junkyard?

All mine had loctite on them, talk about a pain in the ***. The first one I broke the head clear off. Drilling a 4inch bolt SUCKS. so get a good breaker bar , and/or good impact. You could always heat it up or use a wd-40 kinda deal. Be really careful cause you dont want to break it!

 

WEll for now i use my stock shocks, so i just dropped my rear lcas competely. I dont know what im going to do when i get aftermarket shocks though.

 

drop the whole thing and then cut off the bolt with a saw and get a new bushings and bolts from honda i paid 30 bucks for 2 new bolts and 2 new bushings
