removing rear spindles - impossible?
 

i have some integra rear brakes, actually the whole suspension sitting on the ground, i was trying to remove the spindles frmo the lower trailing arm, looks like 3 T50 torx bolts and one 24mm nut in the middle

the nut was no problem for my weak impact, the torx i think might be a problem, i just broke a brand new t50 torx socket thing, anyone got these off ever? how did you do it?

Re: removing rear spindles - impossible?
 

they can be removed...seen it done...

why do you need to remove the spindles?

swap the whole arm and be done.

Iv done it on my civic(girlfried vs corner of wall) heat the area up then hit it with the ppen lube, put the T50 on and wack it with a hammer a few time(this helps shock it free) then turn away. plus get a good torx socket. mine can take a impact gun

mine couldnt take a impact gun thats forsure.

so i guess the whole gsr trailing arm will go into my 96 civic, i thought they were differnt lengths and would mess up my suspension geometry, maybe i wont need to mess with those t50's after all
