Tools needed
14mm wrench / or rachet wrench
14mm socket / 3/4" or 1/2" rachet
-19mm or whatever you use to take off your lugs
Hydro or manual jack
New Toe Arms
The installation was very easy and straight forward it should take a seasoned mechanic about 30 mins total to do this..
Step 1-Loosen lug nuts and jack up your car
Step 2- Place jack stands somewhere to support your car so you dont die
Step 3- Take off Wheels
Step 4- Give the toe arm bolts a good spray with WD-40 or PB blast ( Optional )
Step 5- Loosen the bolt connected to the trailing arm in figure 1 (loose enough you can turn with your fingers)

Step 6- Loosen the bolt attatched to the frame (loose enough you can turn with your fingers)fig 2
Fig-2
Step 7- Get your jack and put it under your trailing arm where the LCA connects and jack up the trailing arm as if it were at rest on the ground ( you must do this otherwise the bolt connected to the trailing arm wont slide out )
Step 8- Take off the Toe Arm
Step 9- Install your new toe arm ( I went with Wicked Tuning ) $68.00 shipped from VEX motorsports in san jose , ca.
Installation process is the same procedure but backwards. As far as torquing the bolts back down I tightened mine until it was rather difficult otherwise look up torque specs in your little honda book that i know you have and cherish with your life..
DONT FORGET TO TIGHTEN YOUR LOCK NUTS!!!
Step 10- Test run , to make sure the amt of torque u put on the bolts are enough to support your driving habits
Step 11- Beer. my case i was drinking some gin and juice but to each his/her own lol
I was a little uneasy about going into this because of the slider nut behind the sheet metal but apparently thats only something to worry about in cases where the car is rusty thankfully for me.. i have a CA semi Rust free vehicle so had no problems with siezed bolts or any thing so it only took me about 30 mins after i just went for it .
i guess i should toss in a
Step 12 - Get car Alligned by a pro.
