      Hey Eric!

      Been watching since the beginning (around end of 09′), and it killed me a little inside to see this. I always speak highly of you to friends and familyt, and because of you you have saved my butt over $2000 in repairs (I started repairing my friends and family’s cars because of your videos). I will forver be grateful.

      As for the forum – have you thought about looking into an “Anti-Ad block”? Kind of like the one Forbes has? It detects you’re using one and makes you whitelist the site before using? Just a thought on that.

      Another one: I know this may take time, but at least till the fairmont project is done go back to “2 repair videos” a week? Wednesday is a fairmont video and Friday is a repair video? – Just a thought

      Thanks again for all you do Eric!

      – Mo.

        How about discussing purchasing a car with highway miles vs city mile used car. Maybe higher miles isn’t always worse kind of thing? Issues to expect in both?

          Wheels are torqued to 80ft-lbs on the TSX. It seems that the TSX and the 07′ accord are the only two cars in the family that have rotor warp issues. To be fair, it took almost 25k after turning to shake. as far as stock rotors vs aftermarket, ultimately what do you think is best?

              Only thing with the tires are the previous and current set does this. The Michelin Primacy MXM4 on it now are brand new (all four) with 1,000 miles. It shakes on the front end if that helps? Would an inner CV have something to do with this?

              Thanks!

                  This weekend I finally got around to fixing the issue. I was at home depot and found a wire wheel that attaches to my drill! Needless to say it worked like a charm cleaning off the pins! I sprayed brake clean in the hole and inserted a small rod wrapped in a blue shop towel in the boot hole until it was clean. Took a while, but did the job.

                  I had to lubricate the pins several times with silicone paste and insert/remove several times until it moved freely. Thanks for everyone’s help! Hope this thread can help someone else too. That wire wheel attachment for my cordless drill saved the day!

                          Thanks, if it helps the pins basically look like this, maybe a little more rust on top

                              Would it be a good idea on Honda/Acura to remove rotor screws and apply a drop of anti-seize to make it easier to remove for later?

                                  [quote=”grg8888″ post=77955]Do you drive this car up and down the continental divide every day, or stop from 120 MPH several times every minute?

                                  Then you might need the heavy duty stuff.[/quote]

                                  Haha that was funny, nope. I did check my OM and it says heavy duty. Looks like that’s the way to go. Although I’m still curious to the difference between standard vs heavy duty. I mean honestly how different could they be?? The dealer sells them for the same price, and they’re in the same area. You just have to be careful to pick the heavy duty one.
