forget it vciv, you're bolt is fuct.

take the lower control arm off and to a shop and have them drill it out, or you'll be sweatin your ballz off trying to do it yourself. and go and order that damm bolt.

its $8.

i had the same experience. luckily my dad "had an awesome set of toolz..." lol.

and btw, ej6buddy, id highly recommend you order the same bolt if you live up north.

my integra came from washington, dc, so the bolt was going to be fuct no matter what. lol.

haha damn, i didn't have that problem putting on my ksports. but maybe thats becuase i have taken them all apart before. i just used a long breaker bar, alot of wd-40 and all my strength either pushing or pulling away from the car.

i was able to get the nuts offbut only with a breaker bar, its the bolts that are rusted to the bushing or something. i'm gonna make one last effort to get them out using a wheel puller before i try to take the whole lowers off.

hey psychocivic, what brand on projector lights are on your civic, those are the best lookin ones i've seen yet. but i am new to 5th gens.

I'm in front of the same think, but I pray God to don't have the same problem, but probably i'll have,
because i'm in IL.
Did you try(if it's possible) to connect a piece of iron pipe to your wrench,
so you'll make your tool longer - it will apply more torque to the bolt!
I'm not sure, that this is possible in your situation.

the long straight handle that connects to a socket instead of a ratchet. its harder to break than a ratchet, and longer to give more torque.

Does PB Blaster work better?
