i have a 93 civic DX 4DR. the only one i know for sure needs to have the metal sleeve intact is the trailing arm bushing. what about the LCA bushings?

 

I can't tell you, but it will be pretty obvious when you are holding the new bushing next to the old bushing

 

i got the hyperflex kit. Instructions wont really help at all.
Ive figured, I cant do it myself, so I am getting help, or paying to have it done.
Its like a 2 or 3 day job

 

i need some advice i have a stock 2002 handa civic si and i want to drop it about 2" what type of Suspension should i use and where is the best place online to buy aftermarket parts for Honda?

 

Start your own thread, this has nothing to do with this topic

 

It sounds kind of like you could get this done a lot faster with a hydraulic press. I recently changed the front wheel bearings on my 87 civic using a 6 ton hydraulic press that i got from harbor freight for $60. If you have a store near you, you might want to check that out. The one near my place only had a couple in stock, and I should add a disclaimer that even for $60, what you get is a tiny *** press. Still, it got the job done for my bearings and it may get the job done for these bushings. There's a much larger press which probably does a better job for 120, but I just wanted to get the most for my dollar.

I *would've* gone to a machine shop to do the bearing job, but they charged $30 per bearing to press it out. Since I was doing 2, I figured I might as well spend the same amount of money and have a press at the end of the job. (I actually spent a little more because I had to buy a bearing/press plate too).

Anyways, just throwing that out there as an option. For my bearing job, I considered using a hammer and air cutter, but both those seemed too likely to damage something.

 

jamned,

Can you tell me what press it was and where you bought it? I haven't been able to find anything near 60 bucks. A small press is ideal for me because I do not have space to store a big press plus I just want to use it for replacing the bushings.

Thanks.
