Nice car, but a Single Speed hipster bike with gold rims...... Hmmm. Love the GT-R at the beginning! OT on the hipster bike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn29DvMITu4

We bought the Civic 1st, then Prelude, then STI. Civic and Prelude were on same loan. STI was on it's own loan. So when we bought them, I had great credit. But things turned sour all at the wrong time. Previous post explains it all.

Hahaha. It's fine now. That was right before the housing bust. Wife got new job, got pregnant, got let go. No work for a year. Either lose the house or lose the cars. We decided to lose that cars and buy used and then short sale the house. Very bad times I tell ya. Now I have 2 cars (P5 and A4)...

Can't tell you what to do with the 1x1 pixels but I would either put the dock on the arm rest or the the right of the hand brake. On the dash would be good except it get in the way of windshield view.

I'll share mine: 92 Camry: Loved this car, slow and ugly. Trade in for Civic 99 Civic EX auto: Loved this car too. It was slow and small. Bank took it back 98 Prelude auto: Heavy ass. Bank took it back 98 Forester: Oil pump maintenance mistake after only having it for 4 months used. Died 98...

Agreed om merging as the discussion is worth the read.(thumb)

Alas it be mine that gets removed :(. This one has a better write up about the actual replacement of the bearing itself as mine did not have pictures due to me not doing that myself (no press). Here's my thread about taking off the knuckle...

I doubt you could spin the race. It took all the force of the 12ton press to break mine loose. I pondered about the stupid C clip that held the bearing. It's not like the bearing is going to pop out when you're driving. When I did my A4's rear bearing, there was no C clip. It was held in by...

http://www.mysears.com/Craftsman-10-pc-Damaged-Bolt-Nut-Remover-Set-Low-Profile-Bolt-Out-reviews I used this to remove mine when I lost my key. Then threw away the lug nut since they could easily be bypassed with this tool set sold at every Sears/K-Mart.

I'm not sure and I didn't want to find out :) And regarding renting the axle nut socket, yes you can rent it, but I bought mine a while ago (years) to do my Civic's rear bearing (a lot easier, no press needed). Also like as mentioned, an impact wrench will help alot with the rusted on bolts.

Thanks for the clarification on the bolt sizes.I will correct that. Also, my axle slid out easy as butta :) The reason I had the car back down to loosen the axle nut was I had no help and no friends that would help :(

http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123746165 Here you go. I recommend a 12 ton hydraulic press. The bearing would not come out.

Here is a how to that might be useful for some people. Total time: about 2 hours if nothing is rusted tight. This is for informational purposes only. I take no responsibility for what you do to your car. No warranty is implied or offered. Jack up the car, take off the wheel, remove the center...

I just rubbed grease all over mine to inhibit further rust growth. Grease is very hard to wash off without detergent, so this should last quite a while. Easier than sanding and painting.
