Difficulties changing the ATF? Because now having questions regarding the mixing of Red Line products, something I've never done before, is considered difficulties?
Regarding the steering/suspension "issues" I am having, I'm looking for insight since everything is in working order as far as I can see. You can assume what you want.
Link to people who have separated the ball joint instead of freeing with this method. Never seen it happen. Force needed to separate the ball joint is higher than force needed to free the LCA & ball joint. Not impossible and it could happen in theory, but in practice, chances seem pretty slim. I suggested this method to Taco since he was in a pinch at 9 pm and access to any tool seemed improbable at that time. Getting hung on a job is lame, even more so after a long day.
Hitting the LCA downwards with a hammer has the same possible theoretical inconvenience of separating the ball joint too.
Anyway you don't need to have the holier than thou attitude with any of us. You have plenty of knowledge (which plenty appreciate I am sure) but the delivery method is abrasive and pointless.![Shrug](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif)

I'm not talking about mixing and general questions.. I'm talking about it taking you an hour to do a drain and fill.

Improbable? are you nucking futs. The lbj on a honda is not constructed to take downward pressure like that. If the thread is seized enough, it can exert a force greater than the clamp force on the ball joint and pop. It's pressed in on the top, the actual ball joint is floating. It's like someone tying your arm to a truck while you're secured to a fucking 1000 year old redwood. Your shoulder is going to separate when that truck pulls away.. because the tree is like fuck your arm.
![rofl](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
Even if it pops.. you might have weakened the ball joint or in the least gave it more play. No bueno senor.
We've had a string of people give bad advice on an authority of hearsay, what I read, what I watched on youtube (cough*meLoveYouLongTime*ahem). Sometimes my bullshit o'meter has no tact. I'm abrasive to all orifices.. just rub some dressing on your butt. It'll soothe.

I might just be an asshole though.. I blame Acurazine, specifically 3G TL. moar specifically 3G TL Ramblings. I should just go back to my safe haven in the UA7 Squad thread. Everybody is awesome there.

Going down to 1 car. No need for 2, I have the bus that goes to work. The Corolla is only driven to the bus stop otherwise it sits in the garage. My new house the bus picks up pretty close 3-4 minute walking distance. Why pay insurance maint and registration on a car that goes 12 miles a month.
I'll buy something new late next year or in 2017 when I get my promotion. Don't know what yet though.

When I was in college, I would sometimes ride my bike late at night to catch a movie or hit the bar with my bros. My housemate caught me heading out one evening, as he was heading in.. he was all like.. where you going?... Don't get raped (in a serious tone, he's an EMT). The thought never entered my head until that moment. I was seriously wondering how many male rape victims he attended to on the street.. like, was there a gang of hobos raping unsuspecting men on bicycles?!?

I'll put my full blown black guy suit on or gay suit whichever one fits.. Sag my pants a little get some dreads. Most of the people in my area are afraid of people that look like that.

I don't see the problem there, but you're fishing for insignificant and unrelated events anyway.
So do you have any evidence of that happening? I kid you not, never seen it happen, even on ridiculously old and deteriorated rusty Civic bj. I agree 100% with you that ideally the lbj should be pushed and not pulled, for the sake of doing things like intended.
No real harm done to Taco's lbj AFAIK anyway.
