im inpressed you got the engine and trans out with the axels in place ... i guess they slip out once you get the engine low enough or high enough .. you need new axels for your swap anyways 90-93 teggy are perfect ...

I have some parts, i just totaled a 89 si with a b16a and now im rebuilding a 88 std (dx) but i have extrra parts everywhere when you make your list ill take a look ... im in spokane wa.. and can ship stuff i would sell cheap too. Im hard for build money right now so we could help eachother

I need a b16a vtec oil pressure sensor ..
driver door glass ,,, non si door

I actually pulled the drivers side axel out first then dropped the engine under the car.

Honestly, the only thing on the trans is the speed sensor...lol. Other than that I have to somehow collect all of the other goodies.

And I actually got some axels with the motor, but I have no clue what they go to. So, I will probably just get some new ones. Might as well not cheap out on those

Yeah, I was looking at pictures online and I have seen a few without sleeves on them, assuming the only downfall is if dirt or something gets in them?

Can't you put the stock ones on?

b18a1build · 10-27-2009, 11:29 AM

I suppose I could, I was trying to stray away from even taking the old ones apart honestly. They are really really rusty and im not too surehow brittle the coils are. Maybe I am being too cautious

b18a1build · 11-02-2009, 12:55 PM

BAAAHHH!! Alright so I have the drivers side suspension almost all put together. The passenger side(front) is giving me hell. The ball joint will not come out of the seats. I bought a pitman arm puller and everything. What do you guys do to get these off. All three are not coming out (Steering, lower, and control arm). Bash if you would like, but I dont know much about suspension

89hatchd15b · 11-02-2009, 06:15 PM

If you don't care about the balljoint use a pickle-fork. available at most autoparts stores. it has a tapered 2 prong fork on the end that you hammer in between the arm and the balljoint. I use it all the time on old stuck balljoint. works best with a hand sledge and remember it will damage the boot so you will have to seplace the balljoint after.

Thanks! I saw those forks but I wasnt sure how well they work, I even broke one of my sledge hammers trying to get these damn things out. I guess I'll just have to resort to replacing them, which isnt all that bad anyways. I'll keep everyone updated.

Ethan · 11-02-2009, 08:47 PM

best way i know is whack the side of the control arms a couple times... comes out easy with no ball joint damage.

I have only had that work if I have replaced the ball joints in the past year or so. I can't tell you how many times I have had that not work. I mean its the reason I bought the pickle-fork in the first place.

We do this all the time. You have to hit it pretty hard a few times. The pickle-fork should be a last resort. Almost always damages the balljoint.

dc231581 · 11-02-2009, 11:05 PM

thats a rough way to pull a motor out

Yeah I didnt need the motor for anything so I just stripped it and pulled it out back yard style

b18a1build · 11-03-2009, 12:18 PM

heres a little teaser for the driver side: new brakes,brake hoses,pads(not pictured),H&R springs,Tokico Blues

And a shot of the shop...

BrutalB83 · 11-03-2009, 01:28 PM

on the Tokico Blues. They're nothing spectacular, but for the price, they get the job done well...

And thats what I've heard, but I am excited to see how well they perform with the H&R Springs. Im going be working on the ball joints tomorrow so I'll keep everyone posted on how that comes. If I cant get em off ill go pick up a fork. Besides ruining the boots, would it help to heat the crap out of the ball joints?

efhondakid · 11-03-2009, 10:45 PM

Find a nut that is the same is the castle nut, thread it onto the ball joint a couple treads, stick the jack under and jack it up, then smack the control arm with the hammer.
