use impact driver for rotor screws. proper tool for the job.
http://www.thesaabsite.com/20050709g.Impact_driver.jpg
i really dont want to rent a air compressor an tools for what seems like a simple job lol... But if worse comes to worse, yea i guess will have to...
Any one know how much a ball joint puller is? Or has one to borrow? using the hammer is annoying, cause i cant get a solid hit lying on the floor as opposed to the hoist
it's nice to invest in some of these tools, makes life a lot easier.
you can grab the ball joint breaker tool for around $20 or $30.
True that.. but im always broke lol
oh ok, cool, thanks... will grab one 2morrw hopefully
call me lazy/stupid but this is exactly why I took mine to Honda for the CV boot
I go to a drive shaft shop as its cheaper for a new shaft with two boots than it is for one boot installed lol
think its 160 a side installed now per shaft, theyre on your side of town Josh and only do weekdays
Im replacing every bush as we speak and planning my next NSW trip
easy 4hr fix :)Quote:

Done with checking out my brakes last night and cleaned the area under the fender front and back. I've never really seen it clean so i'm wondering whether i stripped off the paint with degreaser cause it's turned from black to yellowish after I cleaned it!
I went with my local supercheap's impact driver set for $15 to reduce my pocket damage. It did the job without damaging the screws so i'm happy :thumbsup:

ive cleaned under the areas you mentioned before and mine was black and stayed black. but then again, i didn't use degreaser, i kinda just scraped the gunk off and wiped over it with soapy water.
got some new rims for my EK.
6ULs 15x9 for the front and 15x8 for the rears.
thanx to the BYP boys.
Piks on the civic :DQuote:

LOL wow, was that for of mechanical failure or defect
Yay installed my cup holders and genuine recaros :D build thread updated* with photos
Some one crashed into it :(
Sad sad day to see ur ek go man... seems u already started parting out... did u buy back the wreck?
just got my
psw jdm shift boot
purple asr subframe
innovative mounts
buddy club water adaptor
ek4 front brakes
& to to top it all off, they sent me the wrong rear 4 pt strut n no front 3 pt strut was sent =(
zomg.. just found out the lower tie bar is also wrong =="
ordered Spoon Sports progressive springs + mugen front strut brace
hope this won't get moved, but I drove over a shit-ass pot hole and ended up with 2 bent rims... so I need to get a hold of a decent set of 16" rims, or a set of stock 175/65R14's so I can at least drive it in the mean time... the rim's not too bad but the structural integrity of the tyre wall for those two wheels has been compromised so if I do any sort of great distance, at any sort of highway speed it'll bubble and shear off... sad face :(
oh, and my car is written off YAY!!!! well repairable write off, thanks to some faggotty hail from 4 weeks ago... JDM sticker front RH quarter panel and roof here I come... and matt black spoon look alike bonnet lol... just have one other big dent but will either put a pedo bear sticker over that or have a crack at popping it out when I buy new tail lights...
PS if anyone has any stock rims or decent 16x7 4x100 mags they might like to sell or donate my way, PM me lol...
Oh no way! Man, you must have hit some pot hole and speed to do that - shiez, sorry to hear about that...
Shame you're in Brissy - I have 4x100 175/65/14 stock rims with Michelin XM1 rubber - only done 10,000kms and has 6-7mm of tread left...
fixing the whole car, getting it looking like a million bux for inspection

Was told that up here also... I'm taking it to the tyre shop in the morning to have stock rims and tyres put on... I might ask them about that and ring the brisbane city council later on...
i fast-tracked spraying my rims to tonight (because i'm impatient) and they look pretty good... gonna do the hub caps in matte black as well and colour the Honda "H" in with the red touch up paint pen... i know it sounds dodgy as fark... but hey i don't really care... cheap tyres... lol... once I've done everything else I'll invest in a good set of rims...
also tomorrow i'm getting a couple of mates together and going to HondaRec at Nerang to get a new bonnet, also in matte black... pimpin' it ghetto style mofo... lol
