When I was in college, I worked as a tire installer and installed thousands of tires on all sorts of foreign and domestic vehicles. I found that not only were the bolts on European vehicles very high quality but I also never saw one ever get buggered up like the studs and nuts on some American cars. I think part of the problem is that the studs and nuts are incredibly cheap on many vehicles. The lug nuts on my Hyundai were so cheap that the outer sleeve on the lug nuts peeled apart the first time I removed a tire from my car. I replaced all of the lug nuts with solid steel acorn nuts. BTW, the steel wheels on the old Mercedes and Audis were so good that, often, I did not have to add any weight to get a perfectly balanced wheel when I installed Michelin tires.
I have the same car 1993 honda civic ex and I go with the flow of traffic. Thanks for this tip! It’s been super useful!
Easier to take out the fuse than to disconnect the battery because have to reprogram radio every time battery is reconnected.
I’ve been lucky enough to not have to worry about power steering pumps on any of my vehicles so far, but it was cool to see how it’s done.
I got substitution axles and they are excessively short. I removed the right side and introduced the upgraded one and the shaft didnt come as far as possible through to put on the nut. Took it off and put the old and new next to each other and the substitution is 35 15/16″ and doesnt should be compressed(there is no springing out in within cv).
