Very Nice! I'll definitely be following your build!

My aunt had an identical civic that she drove from new to 850k.

still at it. in fact i just did axles this past weekend. here are the pics.
loosen lugs and spindle nut.

loosen crown and damper bolt/nut.

once ball joint is loose and axle removed from hub this is how it looks.

everything reinstalled, minus spindle nut and crown nut.

this image shows how i had to seperate ball joint. place and raise jack on lower control arm. place wrench between lower control arm and hub. release pressure from jack. if wrench, or piece of all thread in my case, is not ground at this point, step on assembly. it should seperate the ball joint. ( disclaimer: i in no way endorse this method as OSHA safe.)

just another view of the last image.


oh yeah buy new cotter pin for lower control arm, buy tranny fluid, replace axle seals, and torque everything down.
