This is how i tighten and loosen mine. Its easier to do while on the car though _____________________________ 1999 Honda Accord "EX"(SOLD) 1996 Nissan 240sx "SE" (in reply to vtecHef) Post #: 4

RE: Please if you could help asap! - 5/3/2008 10:04:33 AM    vtecHef   Posts: 187 Joined: 2/1/2007 Status: offline I figured that it would when it was on the car, for some reason though the whole inner assembly was twisting when i would go to turn the bottom lock.. so basically i have to hold the inner part( inside the spring) and hit the lock at the same time... THANKS!!! a bunch .. didnt think to use a hammer . One other thing.... so i got the stock camber arm all unbolted. but for some reason the bolt wont pop out... ive hit it with a hammer... no good any suggestions ?.. ill put a picutre in next post _____________________________ 99 Accord Lx 2.3 4 cyl V tec (in reply to j_man_honda) Post #: 5
