This a guide to help remove your aftermarket coilover or shocks without damaging the shocks.

Tools Needed:

a hacksaw, air saw, or a sawzall
some type of pliers or vicegrips
sockets
wrenches
torque wrench
hammer
floor jack
jack stands

Getting dirty

First off jack the car up, and put it on jack stands.

Now I broke the head off of the bolt it kinda helps if you do, so its one less thing to cut.




You want to cut the inner bushing


This process takes a while that why it helps to have an airsaw or the sawzall

Once you cut so far into it try to remove the rest of the bolt

When you get it out it makes the rest easy.

keep sawing till you get a nice little disk


You will have to keep the lca bolted up but, once that is out it will give you enough room to remove the shocks or coilovers.



Now that the shock is out its time to replace the bushing


I didnt take pics of replacing the bushings beacuse or teal's diy

When you get the bushing replaced install your shocks and your'll all done

I used a bolt from the hardware store just for a temp till i got one from honda, I also used a locking nut with washers.

i just had to do this exact same thing.

the hard thing for me was cutting it out, because i only had a hacksaw.

Did you put some antiseize on that? make sure you do for the new bolts from honda!!

Thanks

sure did. I learned the hard way.

Thanks

No problem
