seperating control arms
 

hey yall
Im new here and was wondering how and what tools do you need to remove a castle nut on a 92' civic control arm.\
thanks Devin

a pair of pliers to remove the pin, and a 17mm wrench to loosen it. if it spins inside the nut, youve got a ton of problems. it can be done, but its a PITA. i can usually lock it in place by using a C-clamp to force it into the hole (?) and that will usually let it come loose.

haha, control arm problems are always fun. the bolt head snapped off of my rear conrtol arm when i was taking out the springs. it was threaded so it took me 8 hours to drill out the bolt
