The Story.
Here it goes.
Buddy moves into my apt complex. Black TL, black wheels. See's me working on my car. Eventually he comes over to see what is going on. Tells me he works as a technician at Hendrick Honda. Proceeds to tell me if any work needs to be done, just bring it on up there and he will gladly work on it. So i'm glad nice! good deal good deal.
So my brother needs his brakes installed. We bring it to Honda, and everything gets installed quickly and without any problems. I'm thinking, man this guy is good!
A month or so later, i'm moving out of my apt. It's hot as hell, and i'm getting tired of moving stuff into the Uhaul. SO i'm like, dude, just take this stuff. Gave him my old oem calipers and rotors, a 12W7 in a custom box, and some 18 inch Focal G7 wheels and tires. He says " damn, i'm gonna be working on your car forever"! I look at him and smile.
So now i'm in my new apt. Dude comes over and we modify his headlights. After we get done, i'm like, man lets put the te-37s on my 6MT. The lug nuts were tight to the point that i couldnt break them loose with a socket and bar. So he busts out his gun. Lug nuts come right off. As he is putting the te37s on, he gets to the right rear, and says, hey man this lug nut doesn't want to go on. Damn thing is misthreading. I'm thinking to myself, hmmmm...how is this so. ???...
Another month or so. He's inquires about my old sparco seats. I'm like, well shit, if you want them, how about doing the knuckle swap for me and i'll give them to you. Deal. Brings his tools over and performs the swap. His method to get the lower control stud out of the housing it to take a mallet and beat it until it pops out. My ass is frightened by this method, and i'm standing there with my eyes about to explode as a result of this fear. One bad swing and it's going to clip the stud and damage the threads. Am i right or am i right? The proper technique is to use a press. But low and behold, the knuckle swap is done.
Somewhere along the lines, he tells me he lost his job at Hendrick Honda. They said he left some lug nuts loose on a customer's car and caused a flame inside an engine bay on another car. They let him go. Dude is without a job.
He tells me the story, and i'm like damn. He then ends up inquiring about my old CF hood. I tell him if you want it, then i'll give it to you if you swap the catalytic converters out. I find the DIY on acurazine, and read it. It says nothing about taking the front right axle out. So he's getting around to the rear cat, and says, dude i've got to take the axle out to get this rear cat out. I proceed to tell him that this thing can be jiggled out. He says, no, i need to take this axle out. I'm getting nervous at this point. I tell him, allright, go ahead and do that if you feel it's neccessary. He takes the entire assembly apart and gets the cat out. Puts it back together. He starts tightening the axle nut, and it gets to a point where it doesn't want to go any further. I'm standing there looking at it, and i'm like that nut needs to go a few more millimeters. The nut wouldn't budge. Test drive... grinding sound coming from the front right on left turns only. His response, oh it's the dust shield". I'm thinking, no probably something more intense.
I drive the car 60 miles, and i'm thinking something just isn't right. I take the wheel off, and inspect. I find the rotor has been digging into the caliper. The entire hub and brake assembly can be jiggled...not suppose to happen. Call him up, he comes over and his torque gun is unsuccessful in getting this nut off. He tells me let's take the knuckle off the auto TL...and i stop him right there. I tell him, dude i'm just going to drive this thing up to Acura and let them handle it. He tells me, "man, if i messed your car up, i'm never working on a car ever again". I remember standing there looking at him.
I'm driving the loaner TL, and recieve a picture message... He sends me a picture of his newly tinted tailights. I look at it and shake my head.
Acura bill....$1,187.00 Pissed.
Another picture message a week later... he sends me a picture of his newly installed j-pipe. I look at it and shake my head.
ANOTHER picture message... new grille he received.
This whole time i'm just waiting for him to be like, man, im sorry, how much do I owe you, or what can be done. Not once does he even offer. Still to this day i'm waiting.
And then, this stud breaks. Uber pissed. Mostly pissed off at myself more than anything.

yikes.... pretty scary shit....
ya know, im quick to do DIY things in my driveway and garage with basic hand tools, but TWO things in this world, I only let ONE person besides me touch on my cars is suspension and brakes....
I agree with you on the calling people out... you're a well respected member like many others on here... lately though, this forum has been filling with some shady type characters, BM scammers and people who just dont know WTF they're doing or talking about

And yes Allon, a very big and costly mistake. I'm just glad i didn't cause injuries to myself and others on the road. If this happened on the open road and i slammed into someone, I would never sleep well at night.

You held back long enough, and this was the last straw. Actually the time he starting asking for parts in return of service was where you should've drawn the line. And how long have you known him? Not long I assume. He took your generosity for granted and now you got burned for it. Payback is a bitch and karma will bite him in the ass.

That sucks man..... I was honestly really surprised when he name dropped you in that one thread. At least nothing worse happened, like your car slammed to the ground and you hit someone else. Just move on... that tard can make himself bad without even trying.

Eric, I know how scary it is to have suspension components fail like that, since something similar to me happened a few months ago when my two front shocks were jammed deep into the forks from a hard impact going about 45mph:
Anyways, I have a few questions to ask you to clarify what happened, since I'm scared what happened to you might happen to other members on the board, including me.
In this diagram, is it #19 that failed? If so, how did it fail? Did it just slip off or was it sliced into pieces? It's held on by a nut that's supposed to be torqued to about 40 lb/ft.
FYI, Honda recommends replacing that bolt every time it is touched, something I haven't done after removing it about 5 times, but am now seriously thinking about doing.
What happened to you is obviously way worse than my issues, but thanks for any info you might have, and good luck with the repair/beating the guy's ass.

Wow. This whole situation is crazy. Like everyone else has said, I'm glad this happened to you in a parking lot rather than on the streets.
Don't sweat it too much for now... I bet karma's got something in store for the little Honda repairman that couldn't.

I am Glad your Alright, the car is always replaceable-repairable. I work as a Technician and been doing so for the past 6-7 years. I do assure you that yes there are times the lower control arm has to be hit off, if your keeping it well you can use pry bars and work it out but sometimes with bushings rotting and rusting hitting it is the only way man. As far as the bolt in that picture # 19 you always and I mean ALWAYS replace it when removing it. You tend to keep streching it and will end up breaking under stress. I will not pick sides but just saying shit does happen he should have been more aware of whats involved in this job and most importantly replace any bolts that were removed.
I did a four wheel brake job in my driveway last weekend. Rotors and pads the whole 9 yards plus some other bullshit. His rear brakes had a ton of rust, I even said the chances of something breaking is pretty high. Well ended up breaking a slide into the caliper bracket. Used heat and PB blaster the whole 9 and nothing the rust had done it's job. I ended up having to replace the whole caliper and the guy understood. Yeah I felt bad but I what was I going to do shit happens but I repaired it as needed and he understood. Sorry you had to go through it man, but it takes a tech to understand what he did. Best of luck man!

Nasty... all I can say is nasty. And it's stories like this, that reaffirms my cynicism towards people nowadays. It seems that common sense and just plain ol common courtesy are seen less and less as the years roll by. The sad part is that this guy ain't the only one like that. What happened to just owning up and manning up to ones actions? I mean not to even offer to help you out with it? How about an apology? Does he even realized that he's in the wrong because the crazy thing is he probably realize it in the slightest.

Sorry to hear about what happened Eric... I'm glad you're alright and nothing serious happened... Like everyone has said... you live and you learn...
That's why I only let ONE person work on my car (mechanically)...
Should be an easy fix...
What people don't realize is that Bilt #19 & #14 (diagram above) Should be replaced with NEW ones once it's removed from the fork... They are a ONE TIME USE BOLT...

I would have ripped him a new one if that shit every happened to me. I admire your self-restraint. you have such an awesome looking car, this is equivalent to someone walking up to you and poking you in the eye with a knife.

Damn dude, so sorry to see that happen to you and your car.
But, as many others have said, the extreme positive out of this situation is that it happened in a parkling lot.
Also, wanted to commend you on taking the high ground in that "EYeeeeeeeeeeee SPeekaaaahh Noooo InnnnGeeeshhh!" thread that you posted of douche nuts.
Best of luck to you dude,
Just remember, Karma is a real bitch.

And if you need something done right, you know the locals (not naming anyone ) are always very helpful and much more knowledgeable Good luck and I hope you get your ride to good form soon.

I did not know this. I've done suspension numerous times on different cars and nothing has happened to the bolt #19 and #14 failing. Is it because it was rusted that it breaks off? I've taken those two bolts out with ease and never had i run into any suspension failure after re-using them. Well thanks for the new info, i'm certain to replace them. Better be safe than sorry.

That's some shit. Totally blown about this happening to ANYONE.
Also some shit that he didn't even OFFER to help you out with an 1100+ dollar repair bill. I would have gotten some legal consultation at that point..
Much luck to you in figuring this all out. And like everyone else said, glad to hear you are safe. This could have been much much worse.

In the ASpec instructions, they dont inform us to swap out the bolt. Yet, rodney has a good point, i think. Many of us have had to use a dowel pin and mallet to get the dang thing out. Just for the sake of safety it may be good to change it out.
Rodneyc77, Did you read somewhere specifically that we need to change out the bolt? If so, could you point us to where you read this? (Im not doubting what youre saying, just curious)

I get home from work, log in and this is the first thread I see and I'm like, Huh? wonder what Eric is doing now. In no way did I expect this. Def glad to hear your OK. That's the most important part of course. As for the car, those parts can be replaced. Yea it sucks and can be costly, but your or someone else life can't. I had the rear axle in my old mustang snap going down the drag strip going about 75 mph and smashed me into the wall. Scariest moment of my life. So trust me, be thankful that it happened at such a low speed.

Its bad when someone touches the heart of the car, some people believe the motor of the car is the heart, I consider it suspension
I don't touch it, I always only let legit peeps work on it
Trey (local car-head)
Craig (semi-local fellow azine acura tech)
The other times anyone else has worked on my rides it ends up being more expensive
The fact is anytime you try and save a buck, you end up getting jammed up and spending more... Although some of your parts for labor trades were nuts... Cf hood and recaros c'mon bro, I would've driven down and helped you do this shit in person if you was given out parts
As for removing the axle for cat install... Yes by the book u remove the rear halfshaft... But since the cat can me jiggle wiggled out.. It's a safer bet
