God Damnit. I got everytihng off and was putting in the new pressure plate and snapped a ------- bolt

Is it okay to use bolts from the hardware store or do i need a honda replacement?

 

honda replacement.

There's gotta be someone near you who's into blowing up SOHC's, I know I've got about 40 spare PP bolts laying around. I'd send you one for like $1 paypal, but it would take awhile.

 

Anyone else? I was hoping to just be able to get like a grade 8 bolt

 

Eh, if you do it carefully enough you can just get new seals from Honda. They're under half the price of a new balljoint. I just learned that today.

 

energy suspension sells replacement boots for them, which makes them even firmer

 

How much? I always destroy boots taking them off...

 

You can do that, its not the end of the world if you dont use the oem honda. Just make sure you dont over tighten again. Post up some more pictures of those sexy rotors man.

 

Well it ends up I am a very lucky guy. My dad has a friend with a drill press that normally gives me a hand with anything that needs drilled out, but hes outta town this week. Theres a guy across the street thats always working on his ford rangers (he has 2 or 3 of em), so my dad brought my flywheel over there to see if he had a drill press. Long story short, ends up this guy is a machinist and i have my flywheel back in a couple minutes. Ive lived nexct to this guy for years and had no idea.
I ended up using non oem bolts and borrowing a nicer torque wrench from a neighbor...now clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate are bolted up and torqued.

I was replacing the the pilot bearing and that metal wire thing in there seems to be loose now. Where do the two ends of the wire go? I can't imagine they just are loose like that

LSD, ill look for the camera charger and take some pics. They are real nice, and frankly I have nothing to do until my bro gets here to help me lift the tranny back in
