Autozone Loan-a-tool, you pay for it, keep receipt and return it, so if you decide to keep it you already paid for it, they have two of them the smaller one works for all the cars Ive used it on: 86-89 accord, 2gen crx, ek civics. NOTE: do not take bolt completely off just loosen a few turns, if not you will crush the nut where the cotter pin goes through and now you need a new ball joint.

I just got done about a hour ago. I changed the flywheel, clutch, tranny, and CVs. It might be simple to all of you but it was my first time and dam it was a bitch. My speedo dont work as of now but im going to weight till tomorrow to fix that.

On another note the clutch is awesome. ACT six puck UNsprung for the MOTHER ------- WIN. The flywheel is what i have to get used to. I got a 11 pound flywheel and that ---- makes my car a dog below 4 grand but i rode 1st gear out untill five grand and punched it and the tires spun WTF?

Guess how I finally got it off ?......












BFH

Good for you man! You'll catch on and driving an unsprung 6 puck sucks, haha. So WHY is your car slow before 4K because of a flywheel? Should be better and rev faster.


BFH = BigF'nHammer?

BFH=big f-ing hammer The car revs faster but the power comes in different My power band feels like it moved up a couple of grand. lol I like that it revs faster because the boost will come in sooner and i put in a dx tranny on because there better for boost the si trannys 1st gear is useless at 9 pounds . Well FELLAS ill tell you how the kit goes on tomarrow. This will all be worth it.

Why are you getting on it with a brand new clutch anyways? did you at least break it in some? I must have had done ten different ball joints with the fork and never ripped even one, but as soon as someone told me it could rip it, sure enough it did.
