    Started her up, she needs a tune, ISUARIO WHERE ARE YOU??!!!!

    and im getting a weird sound when i press the clutch pedal down.
    heres a video:






    All the pedals are way to loose for my happiness anybody got a brake bleeder they can come and help out with.

    oh and i couldnt remember how to stiffen up the gas pedal.

    If you want to bleed your brakes by your self you should look up bleeding brakes backwards. Did it on my prelude took about 5 minutes from having barley any pressure at all. And i dont think you can stiffen up the gas pedal? you can make it more responsive at the TB. Good progress whats next on the list?

    so i decided to tear into the nightmare of a rear suspension on this car and give her a pedicure, mind you this rear is not mine and the previous owners racked 213k miles on car and i dont think they ever fixed anything.

    In preperation i bought a bunch of new tools cause i knew this bitch was gonna try and break my heart and act a fool like any women getting her feet done for the first time



    Tap/Die set






    Map gas tourch kit with o2 tank











    Eye, Ear and Hand Protection....and it came in handy









    For stubborn parts and agrivation relief






    Full Punch/Chisel set-Not sure why i didnt have one of these allready i had 4 of them when i was in the army.....






    For the do it yourselfer





    i dont remember but i nneded for something to do with the brakes....oh shit now i remember it was for the resplicing of the abs sensor



    Hopefully she appreciates a man that lubes it up first


    you should know what this is for....making pudding......

    First headach on passanger side

    Tried to remove arm from bracket and bolt was frozen so i went after bracket bolts



    The bolt itself was rusting through. Snapped right off inside sidewall of wheel well.







    I tried to slavage the original threaded tunnel by going from small to bigger bits, got close but it still was stripping my new bolts threads.
    Tap and die set to the rescue.

    I re-threaded the hole and rethreaded the bolt. first time i ever had to fix a bolt allways just got new bolts, heres how it came out

    Its coming together man. Cleaning the body and suspension always gives me a better piece of mind.

    Removing your dampers/struts will give you more play and area space while doing the rest of the work, if car is jacked up the rear suspension doesnt plummet to the floor like the front does without the dampers/shocks attached


    i finally get the arm out and the fucking bracket bolts still wont come out so i had to take a trip to my boys job and use his vice so i could sledge them out







    after that i move on to the lower arm im pulling out,,,,,heres where alllllllllll the fun came in

    as you can see not much room to play with in here





    i was forced to take the map gas torch and melt out the bushing so i could get enough leverage to hammer out the bolt





    Had to hammer the whole bolt assembly through the wall since the sleeve is wider than the bolt hole,,,gonaa love fixing that hole back into place...[enter punch and hammer]



    This bolt is suposed to be three seperate parts consisting of 1bolt 1 adjusting washer and 1 bushing sleeve. as you can see these three parts didnt know that and melded together








    Once that was out i moved on to the brakes
    removed the caliper and rotor and removed the sheild behind the rotor





    dont worry im not missing a stud i just ummm got excited when banging the rusted rotor loose and swung a lil wide....lol hehehehe

    Moving on to the driver side i get teh upper arm brackets out but the damn bolt holding it to the knuckle is frozen to the sleeve. So i pull out my angle grinder and cut off thr nut and bolt head




    nut removed



    Bolt head not as easy


    she put up a fight



    Kicked my grinder out into my hand...$9 gloves saved my finger from a world of hurt


    back to grinding till she was off.




    after cutting off the bolt head i was able to remove the arm and start working on getting the bolt out of the bushing. After coming to the conclusio that the whoel thing would need to be removed i sent my cousin to the store to get me another o2 canister. while waiting i made due of my time and removed the first one by hand.

    A lil drilling and knife work



    then a chisle to that left edge



    a small sawzzall cut to help pry it ou til its here



    then you have this rusty hole to clean before putting a new sleeve.


    after replacing the sleeve...sadly only had one spare i put in the bushing with some anti seize


    and now the bushing sleeve...more antisieze



    prepping the arm...a lil antisieze



    then my new bolts and washers with ...ahem...a lil anti sieze



    then you lock it down and move on to the rest of the parts

    had to repeat the same steps from drivers side to remove the lower arm side
    rotor and calipers came off easy peasy on this side just needed to use torque gun and rubber mallet on my rachet to break a few bolt free.

    no pics of removing the old ones of thesebut i had to cut and grind these off as well due to the allen key screw being so rusted i couldnt use my allen key



    D2 going back on with plenty anti sieze to keep me rust free for a lonnnggggg time





    Lower adjustable arm going in...again anti sieze all over.....

    Locked into the knuckle and looking good




    locked down with the first ingalls installed





    Rotor and bracket on,,, wire wheel on bech grinder cleaned it up the bracket nicely...ill have a certain person powder them wehn i drive to jersey
    ...THATS A HINT SPD.....not naming anyone though....




    Pads on.....



    Calipers on.....






    Driver side arm on with bolt hole and bolt tapped/died to perfection



    Driver side all in place




    AS A SIDE NOTE; since i didnt have a spare sleeve for the drivers side i use the torch to melt out as much of the rubber as possible then i used a dremel with a grind wheel, the one shaped like a disc not a drum. reason is the drums leave grooves the disc is much smoother and wont bind up from the rubber. after cleaning it out give it a heavy coating of anti sieze and put in your bushing.
