Default help

hello honda people

Please help ! I was going to change my rear suspension shocks, but I found out that the suspension shocks' screw got stuck with the bushing. any suggestion? plus the rear suspension shock's screw on civic are extremely weak, which I broke one of them, therefore I could never separate the shock and the lower control arm ! -_- sigh ! any suggestion, because the rear shocks don;t come with screws, therefore if I get a LCA, then where can I get the screw?

please help thank you !

So the bolt is stuck in the bushing?

My recommendation is to remove the bushing and get a replacement bushing from Honda and have the new one pressed in.

You mean that bolt that connects the lower shock and lower control arm together? Well even though it's too late, and for future reference, use a jack and lift up some on the lower control arm to take some stress and weight off of the bolt. Also make sure to spray some PB Blaster on it and wait like 5 minutes to let it soak through the rust. I personally have done this and have had not a single problem.
