ive done this on cars with drums in the back but this is the first time ive done it on a car with rear disc brakes. its a 97 integra ls. i cant get the strut/spring out and obviously im missing something. ive removed the two upper nuts as the nut on the top of the strut. ive also removed the lower bolt that holds the strut assembly to the lower arm. but thats not enough apparently. anybody care to point out what else i need to remove. im sure i can figure it out but i just dont want to remove more than i need to. any help will be appreciated and rewarded with rep.

 

I'd unto the bolts that adjusts rear camber so it's easier to pull the assembly out. Other than that, I cannot think of anything else. There shouldn't be a rear sway on an LS, but I dont drive Integras and am not 100% sure. Push the lca out of the way and yank it out.

 

undo the bolt in the yellow box for more leverage to remove the strut assembly.

 

thanks guys i figured it out like 2 minutes after i posted this. but thanks.

 

Thanks for the pic to clarify, nolexforever.

 

no problem sxecrow.

also, to put it back together, first install the strut assembly and then stick a small jack underneath. using the jack to push the axle upward makes it easy to re-assemble.
