alright guys, sorry if there will be spelling errors I'm doing this off my iPhone, I can't take the 17mm bolt that connects the coil holder to the lower control arm. I have soaked it for 3 days with PB blaster. Took a torch to it. Took a impact wrench to it, it won't bugde. I took the bolt off facing towards the rear easily. But I can't get the actual bolt to come out, can you guys help? Any suggestions?

 

the bolt you're referring to has a tendency to become seized/frozen in place.

what I had to do with mine was cut the bolt in half with a saw-zall and metal cutting blade. you're going to have to cut it between the control arm itself and the area on the other side of the 17mm head. <-hope that makes sense.

I was able to cut my bolt in half within 5 mins that way (after hours of other methods)

you can get a replacement bolt from Honda for like $5

 

Could you explain in more detail possibly a photoshop photo of where to cut? Lol there is a bushing there, do you caut the bushing and bolt and replace both?

 

you cut in between the left hand metal support (so you cut on the right hand side of left support...inside) you'll need to cut the bushing and bolt.

 

Is the bushing pressed in or pushed in? And would an air hammer work pushing that bolt out?

 

I tried every air tool known to mankind...nothing worked.

Metal cutting blade and saw-zall cut it like butter.

 

I work at pep boys, got to work today, put it on a lift. Took a impact wrench to it, air hammer and it came out just fine... Like a boss. Thanks for the help though.

 

Never under-estimate the utility of a bigger hammer.

:wink:
