LCA bolt problem

[J_Phongsavan]

hey fellas... i recently purchased blue rear LCAs for my honda civic coupe 1996 model... i see there are 3 long screws on each rear LCA... one for end, one for springs and one for the centre...

i know how to put them in but one problem 1 out of 6 bolts were kind of blunt as i cant move it... others i can... is there another way to take it off?

use a 6-point socket and wd40

used a 6point socket already.... will try with wd40 but any other way to yank it off?

[baeshin]

so the nut is that rounded that much that a single hex socket wont get it off?

just get another socket that will fit over it tightly and hammer the socket in

x2 but use an extension on the end so you hit it it ****s that and don't **** where the drive goes in and then have a ****ed socket stuck to a ****ed nut cos then your real ****ed.

Always use WD40 before loosening the suspension bolts because there might be corrosion.

wd40 is good but the CAT used on there machinery is the best i have ever seen!

[J_Phongsavan]

wd40 it then get a six point socket then hammer it in?

[aaronng]

Use WD40 and the proper 6-point socket. If you still can't get it out, then use a smaller socket and hammer it in. Waste of a socket though.

try jack the lca up abit. it might be the angle problems that causing it hard to turn. I had similar problems before n i just jack them up to have better way.

my friend ly(xntrik) and myself try wd40 it and hammered a smaller 6point socket into the bolt... wont do muchs...

the only way to take it off is when i take the rear drum off with the LCA attached to it for a new brake setup....

i prob just wait until i buy front and rear brake setup that comes with trailing arms and others.... after i get engine done... then i put my new LCAs in that time...

use vice grips on it and inox to move it cause all the other ways move the tool and not the bolt
