Honda EG coilover install?

[SixSquared]

Hey guys.. didn't want to ask this on my home del Sol forum, cause they're a bunch of pricks about questions like this.. hopefully you guys will be nicer.

So I bought a Tein SS coilover setup from a friend of mine, and I would REALLY like to have it installed before my car goes away for bodywork at the end of the month. My question is, I know I'm going to need a torque wrench, which I have... aside from that, are there any "specialty" tools that I'll need aside from a good set of sockets? I want this to go quickly and painlessly, as the coilovers are on my friend's car now, and we're swapping suspensions, so we would be doing the whole thing in one day. So, what kind of tools should I have to do this in the most efficient way?? (no, I don't have an air compressor :( )

1.) A Y chromosome

that would make her XXY, klinefelter syndrome.... you suck at the biology

[PacoX]

I meant someone with a Y chromosome. Chinaman fails again at English!

I guess you won't be of any help to her then... hah!

[PacoX]

Eh, I don't know biology, I'm just basing this on what your mom has told me while I impatiently wait for her to get naked. Chromosome this, X that, Y this, etc. Hell if I know!

Hmmm.... just like I needed a Y chromosome to do my motor swap, build my motor, sand down my car, do my oil changes, polish my valve cover, install my system, and custom wrap my interior???

How about you both STFU, get out of my thread, and hopefully someone with INTELLIGENCE, and not just a penis that he lets think for him, will post.

why would you need that ?

[speedminded]

why would you need that ?You're right, i've done smoked myself retarded...wait, i don't smoke...lol. Just pull the bolt out of the spindle and nuts off the top sliding it all out...put the spindle on the new shock and slide it back in (gonna have to tie the brake line to the SS because it doesn't come with a mount). The rear is easier but can sometimes be a pain in the ass if you can't pull it down far enough so you have to disconnect the rear sway. i don't know what i was thinkin with the axle nut :dunno:

[aaronfelipe]

lol you threw me off there.

[wantboost]

impact for what? the lugs nuts? No room for an impact, don't you mean air ratchet? ;)of course :lmfao: i got both and used the wrench when i did mine. but then again it wasnt a honda :D

[Dirty Octopus™]

why would you need that ?

besides to get the axle nut off
i guess just in case she gets frustrated and has to drop the whole assembly without it being in the lower arm as opposed to bearing down on the assembly and taking the shocks out of the fork? might be less time consuming in the long run... i switch up so i have yet to figure out which is an easier method

I have never done it that method. Never had a problem...

[aaronfelipe]

me too...but sometimes doing other work at the same time that requires pulling the nut off anyways.
Yes. I agree with that.

This is wat u will need

-10 mm
-12 mm
-14 mm
-17 mm
-another 17 mm to get the fork bolts off
-a hammer
-WD 40 maybe
-and that is basically it.......no need for axle bolt to be off
-just unbolt the 14 mm that holds the fork to the shocks in the front and the shocks should just ease out
