In reply to: Glen Haegele 's message, "Re: driveaxle and front struts/springs replacement" on 21:51:16 09/27/04 Mon

Thanks for the info Glen! I had given up and put it back together with the bad driveaxle still in place. The thought of heating the control arm crossed my mind but I immediately ruled it out as I had sprayed the heck out of the area with parts breaker. I will wash the area thoroughly with soap and water before trying to heat it.

I also struck out on replacing the springs and struts as the spring compressors that I borrowed from Autozone did not fit between the coils. I'm 99% sure that the springs on there now are OEM but they resemble the narrower springs on coilover suspensions. I'm not really upgrading the suspension, but the spring on the driver's side is broken and I have to replace it. Are there any special spring compressors that fit smaller springs like on this 93 Accord EX. Thanks again for your help.
