ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Removing Struts/Shocks From CB7

    I was looking around and I couldn't find a diagram of how to remove the front shocks from the Accord. Does anyone know how I can find a DIY or something similar?

      You should be able to find a DIY using the search bar (3rd from right on the gray bar on top of the screen).

      If you're also removing the springs with a spring compressor, make sure to learn about how to do that safely as it can be very dangerous if not done with proper precautions. Keep the spring ends facing away from your body at all times when it is compressed. They are strong enough to hold a car up so if they get free they will do very bad things to the human body.

      Also, the whole assembly is somewhat heavy and awkward so it helps (though is not probably essential) to have someone to help lift it back up when reinstalling.

      The process is not hard or really that technical.

      Try using Youtube to get a general visual of the process first.

            The Haynes manual covers it.

            It's a decent investment and is pretty thorough. I use it in addition to my Helm manual.

              Drop the fork
              Take out 3 upper bolts
              Take out strut

              For the rear
              Take out lower mount bolt
              take out 2 upper bolts ( requires trunk dissembly )

                  Maybe you can PM around the site and maybe spend a few bucks to have someone install them for you although it isnt that much of a pain in the ass
