Guest nixon Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 I'm taking out my rear neuspeed springs to put in eibach coilovers. The main bolt i've heard gets locked in there so i cut ends off and drilled. Except it eats titanium drill bits. I've gone through a lot of drill bits and tryed air tools a hammer to budge this bolt out. It's sooo locked up in their. I don't know what i can do to knock this thing out. If i get it just a little loosened up it would just knock right out.. http://www.acura-integra.com/phpbb2/download.php?id=314http://www.acura-integra.com/phpbb2/files/thumbs/t_desktop_004.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiG BeN Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 it's easier to press it out.if you can prop a vice up in there and put a big socket on the inside and another bolt on the outside and tighten it until the bolt piece squeezes out.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 PB blaster that bitch and wait a day then use a punch and a BIG hammer and beat that fucker out. If you soak it firt it should come out pretty ok to get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I've found PB blaster great for loosing bolts. Also if it needs turned you can use a large pipe wrench to grip it. It will work even if its totally round. I had a bolt on my toy that the impact wrench rounded off and the pipe wrench saved the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 heres the easy way. very carefully heat ONLY the bolt with a torch untill its glowing orange then use an air chisle with a punch attachment or a hammer and punch and it will come right out. next time. when you replace the bolt coat it with anti sieze so you don't have problems if it needs to come apart again. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow4now Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 1) Order new lower shock mount bushings 2) Cut off any other part of bolt holding shock in, remove shock 3) Cut out lower shock mount bushings 4) ???? 5) Profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nixon Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 gas,grass,or,ass do you think if i heated it up pretty well it would loosen it up so i could just unscrew it out on my right side wheel now. I finally did the left side but now I don't know what im going to do with the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nixon Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 did you torch the bolts to heat them up? i dont have a torch that's why i'm wondering. maybe a friend does... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lustful Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 yep... you can just buy the little canisters and it will be enough i woudl say. like the ones plumbers use to sweat pipes together.. works in a pinch if you are out of acetylyne or so forth, or if you are at the garage that doesn't have one..
