I know that you have to use the stock bolt but when i went to the honda dealers they said that theres a special socket for that bolt that we can't buy at a local store, on top of that they told me not to remove that lower control arm and the reason they gave me is jus don't remove that and I was like clueless after that but hey if you did it show me aights and thanks.....

Maybe the reason is that they assume you don't have a torque bar, so you're not able to torque the bolt back to the correct spec.

Yes... you're supposed to use the stock bolt.
You need what's called a Torx Socket to take it off. Make sure it's a 10point socket.



EDIT: Found out that you can buy these sockets off SPC tools catalog (part # 69330)
