Your 😎 AWESOME MAN!!!!
Is there another place to buy the Schley Products 68100 Honda Compliance Bushing Tool? Having a hard time finding anything that works for the Honda.
any other companies make the bushing tool? acouple say discontinued and snap on is crazy $$$
Thanks for the video. What is the size of the bolt and nut for the press tool to press out/in the compliance bushing?
Very nice informative job for suspension ❤️
This guy's videos are addictive! I don't own a Honda anymore, yet I still watched the whole video.
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
This is the type of a technician you want working on your car.👍👍
Not really. You have to understand the quality of the parts you’re taking off and putting on.
There was a video I watched awhile ago that was comparing OEM vs parts store replacement parts. They specifically used the lower control arm from an Accord. The brand they compared it to was Moog. They showed the quality of the metals from both. They put them both in a vice, then proceeded to hit them with a sledge hammer. They beat the hell out of the Honda OEM one and all they could do was dent it. They hit the Moog arm twice and it completely bent the entire control arm. Think of the sledge hammer as how the arm would hand if you were to hit a pot hole.
Exactly why I wish to change the bushing and not the whole arm. So expensive 😂
@@chicken29843 facts lmaoo
Moog used to make good quality suspension parts, not any more. All after market parts are chinese crap these days. Better to invest in a nice press and buy the OEM ball joints, bushings and bearings. It’s actually cheaper than changing those crappy parts out every 6-12 months.
@@michalp2362It's true ! In Amazon I found a new trade for me search Metrix Premium , looks solid , are for Civic 02 Ex Mt , i 'm buy too Prothane parts for bushing in control arm because nothing survive in this part , every 3 years more a less another time change , I have all .Huge from México City 🙌🏻
It warms my heart to see Young bucks
As others have said, BigDog's attention to detail is unmatched by anyone else! This video is incredibly well done. Thank you so much for sharing.
I like how you take safety serious! nice video
Gotta love your attention to detail. Watching some do this, they don't even preload the hardware before cranking those bolts down. It's nice to know you can do a better job in a home garage, leaving the frenzied rush to finish for the flat rate techs.
you must comply! You must comply! so we put in compliance bushings! Schley is expensive but good tools! Great video as always Dave!
They do make good tools, thanks for the comment Mike!
Excellent lighting and camera work, including torque specs and closeups at the right times. In addition to explaining "what" to do, the best instructors also explain "why" to do something, which you did very well. This is an outstanding video Well done, and keep up the great work!
Don't own an Accord but a 2006 Civic EX Sedan and can't stop watching your informative videos! 👍🏼Awesome video.
I appreciate the comment, thanks for watching!
The torque specs for the castlenut is 58-65. We are going to torque it to 58 and then use the slack of 7 remaining ft/bs to align our castle nut. That why they give us that range. You sir are a perfectionist. Excellent job.
Now that what you call a REAL how to video, unlike a lot of the crappy ones, dark videos,one handed cell phones, animals barking, crowing, & running into the video shot, ramblings about other stuff, and drinking beers between shot, etc...
Thanks for an awesome informative how to video, others should learn!!!
I have the 07 V6 3.0L black on black and I have to say THANK YOU so much for your detailed videos....so enjoyable to watch
👍
Thanks! I am tackling this same project (plus new Ball Joints) this summer on an 07 Honda. Saved your video. Appreciate it!
Thank you. You have the best film quality and best instruction for this application bar none. Lighting was perfect.
I left a few of the struggles in this video (I could have edited them out), enjoy!

Struggles? What struggles? When you get a rust belt car THEN we will see struggle!! HA!
lol, no more rust belt for me!!
Awesome video on compliance bushings with tools and part number
EXCELLENT 👍🏼 & informative video - socket sizes, torque specs, positioning, safety, part #'s & recommended parts to use. Very thorough and very appreciated thank you!!
Thanks for the comment 👍!
Excellent video. Great information on pre-loading suspension before all bolts to bushings are torqued.
Thanks 👍!
"It's just got to be close, not perfect, we aren't sending this thing to the moon" lol
Excellent video that's so clear in details of instructions .Thank you so much .
thank you for making such a detailed video
Great careful work and explanations. Thanks.
Great video. You are a lucky man with those stabilizer/ sway bar links. I've had to cut and drill out those too much. They are my nemesis.
Yep, they can be a pain, thanks for the comment!
Great tutorial man! I wonder if my '08 Accord needs to have those compliance bushings replaced as well. I'll take a look before I get ready to replace my shocks which are just about done. That way I can replace both at once if needed. Cheers!
Every step was informative 👍🏼
Compliance Bushings. That's a new one on me. Those are a common wear item on this generation Accord and TSX. Great video as always Dave.
👍
Very thorough video. I wish you had made this a few years ago. Dealer told me the compliance bushings were worn/torn on my 2009 Accord. Replaced whole LCA assemblies. Got a bit confused somehow on right versus left but ended up OK. When I got the LCA's off, they weren't pristine, but didn't look damaged at all to me. Also good tip on how to tighten the castle nut on the bottom with loading. Thanks!
Thanks 👍!
What were your symptoms before you got them changed
Good job. In addition to good craftsmanship and have an excellent machine Make work done professionally
Excellent video as usual! I am an auto tech myself but I always learn new things from your videos!
Never stop learning from others working in the field. 👌 There's so much more to learn every day, even stuff that is simple.
Beautiful work
Thank you for the detailed video...going to have to tackle this project soon...curious if I could use a ball joint press kit instead of the specialized one, guess I'll have to check my ring sizes
Thanks for another great video. It's nice to see how experts do it. I did it on my '03 civic, but replaced whole lower arm (it is incredible cheap). Also, for sway bar links, I prefer enclosed (non greaseable) ones. Just in case other people maintain the car, they may miss to put the grease from time to time.
Thanks for the comment!
Moog makes great whole kits.
I'm just going to replace all the arms and linkages because I'm not comfortable doing the whole job in my apartment parking lot and I plan on replacing essentially every part of the suspension on the whole car (8th gen accord) except the coilovers I installed about a year ago and I dont trust the mechanics to change the bushings properly and also they would charge me for their time to replace the bushings even if I supplied them so why not just get new parts for a little more money and get everything nice and shiny and new.
Incredibly cheap is the red flag here unless you don’t mind doing it every 6 months.
@@123andmenot anymore. It’s the same junk as the rest of chinese parts.
Happy New Year to you and your family. Let’s hope it’s better than last year. Thanks for sharing and stay safe and well Artie 😊🇺🇸
Same to you and your family Artie, thanks!
This guys know his shit. I have the same exact car and actually have been living in it. 225,000 and It does need new compliance bushings. I also have a ac issue/cat issue/etc but can't afford to do any repairs at this point. Thanks for the knowledge though brother
Stop Short! Thats my move! Great video, thanks for the tips and the tutorial.
👍
Great video. I can't believe I didn't skip anything.
Mine does a squeaky sound but only when it's on the floor. When it is in Jack stands it does not make the sound.
Thanks 👍!
Job in the town! thank you.
lOVE THE WAY YOU EXPLAINED THANK YOU
Thanks for the comment 👍!
Great and detailed video
Nice vid. I did a similar job but never took the wishbone (fork) off from above. It just moves out of the way. Also, my axle (cv joint) fell out a little and I was able to get it back in by wiggling it back and forth, but it's best to avoid this if possible. I will tie the axle towards the body with a bungee or something next time. To get the vertical bolt (compliance bushing) started, I had to put pressure upward on the bolt (with a jack) while turning it with a wrench. It has an angled top for self-align/starting. I like your safety advice. I too, put jack stands, the tire, and often some logs under the car in case it slips.
Very good video and thanks for sharing
Great videos ,thank you ,
Working on my 05 Accord 2.4, installed all new engine mounts and trans mounts ,need to do engine mount reset .
Could you explain this procedure or do a video
Thanks for your help
hello buddy i cant find the tool anywhere did you got other tool option besides you post on your description?
Good job 👏🏻
Excellent video. I did this same job on this same car about 8 months ago. In my case, it was a very difficult job, because the bolt in the compliance bushing was completely frozen. I had to heat up the captured nut and ended up cutting the bolt on top and at the bottom to get the control arm off. I used a grinder with an extra large wheel to cut the bolt. It was completely sketchy and dangerous! It probably would have been better to use a reciprocating saw instead of a grinder, but I couldn't find mine. I always hope that in these videos, that the content provider has these kinds of problems, but usually the don't. I always appreciate content providers that video when they have problems, but in your case, it went very smoothly.
I wonder if an impact wrench would have gotten it out. Sometimes the hammering of an impact wrench will get them loose if you soak the bolt in penetrating fluid before hand.
@@MrSupernova111 - I did use an impact but it had no effect. I put penetrant on it too. The bolt was rusted fast to the bushing.
@@alanbradford3130 . That sucks. Glad you got it done. Cheers!
Thank you ... nice job
Always great videos 👍
Thanks 👍!
Good job, bro.
THANK YOU!!!!
Love your videos keep up the great work
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
what are the symptoms of a bad compliance bushing? I know mine are cracked but should I be feeling something when driving?
Thx Big Dogg! 👍
No problem 👍!
Thanks bigdog
Good done sent from Iraq. Unfortunately here they don't used same technic and same tools. My accod 2012 wait a guy like you to rescue her professionally 🥴
Suggestion. When I press bushings or ball joints in, try an old woodworkers trick. Campher the end to be inserted first on a bench grinder making sure to have an even slight angle around the end. You will never have any binding or crooked starts again.
Thanks for the video
You bet!
Awesome vid, thanks!
👍
Great video!!
Thanks 👍!
Really Nice and précious like As all your vidéo . Thank’so lot ! I will do soon.
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Replaced entire control arm instead way easy.
Also the cotter pin, you do it your way cos the eye of the cotter pin is horizonal but it's actually weaker. If the eye is vertical (which means you bend the ends around the castle nut) the pin is stronger.
If they are stuck, a few minutes with a map torch, punch out the rubber, score the outer housing of the bushing to relieve tension.
If that fails you can use a cold chisel too curl and peel the housing away from the arm at the point that you scored it.
Do you know if the process is the same for v6 03-07 coupe?
What were the symptoms of these bushings being bad?
Is the R &R tool will work on 2009 accord by any chance?
Can I hire you to do this on my 2013 Acura TL?
Very Good, Can I ask you if you can do struts on a 2016 Honda CRV-EXL AWD?
I'll see what I can do, thanks for the comment!
Great video. What were your symptoms before fitting the new one
I believe I just noticed them torn during an inspection.
Am looking for a video that change the other bushing the one on the right, you didn't change it. Mine that one is bad. It will be helpful if you can give me link or something to watch how its done. Thanks for the video
I wish you could do my 03 accord.I hope the dealership will do it as good as you did.I'm not going to trust the locals around here to do it.
Thanks, for the detailed video. Would the bushing having a crake pull the car to left or right while accleerating?
Absolutely, also when decelerating. It also causes uneven tire wear. Mine were on the inside of the tire on both side of the car. Also, if you look at the bushing then you should be able to see the condition of the bushing, especially if it’s really bad.
Great video. I have a 40min video coming out soon on a 2003 accord. "We're not sending this thing to the moon".... or are we?? 🤣👍
Maybe we are lol! Look forward to the new video Jonathan, thanks for the comment!
Accord 7 2.2 diesel "hopping" of whole car vibration like engine missfire in crousing speeds 3/4gear only 60-85km/h when accelerate harder its very smooth. Engine fully checked, any ideas whai it may be? Milage is 160kkm original, i had dmf in hands no loosening. Driveshafts substancial clarance on splines. What it may be from your experience
Shouldn't you torque down the endlinks at ride height also?
If they are ball joints, they can be torqued in any position. The rubber bushings are the ones that should be tightened in the ride position.
Here in my country (Malaysia), they normally sell the entire lower control arm. Unless you opt to replace them with polyurethane bushing. Probably because adding on the labor charges to press out these bushing, it will cost the same as an entirely new lower control arm.
Thanks for the input!
yeah i agree. For my honda ridgeline you can get 2 brand new lower control arms with the lower ball joints in them for just shy of $200
Nice video. If your car is from the rust belt plan on using your torch, Honda bolts like to rust and makes it a bear to take out.
I think a good idea would be to periodically spray all rubber components underneath with 303 Protectant to resist drying out and cracking .
Will this tool work for a 2010 civic Los?
Great video. What are the symptoms when the bushings go bad?
Uneven tire wear and it will pull to the right or to the left when giving it gas or letting off the gas while driving down the road. Very noticeable the worse it gets. It essentially changes the toe on front tires when driving which causes the uneven tire wear. Plus if you look at them while the car is still together you can usually see the bushing deteriorating. I have an 06 Accord and I am about to do this same job on mine.
Does this part cause creeking sounds?
Good
Video thank you ineed the samething
👍
I like that vise!! Would you do a review of it? (Or, maybe you already did, and I missed it.) Either way, what model is it?!
I'm not sure, I got it so long ago I don't even remember where lol.
Can’t find this tool anywhere.
What model impact wrench do u use ? Nice vids
Milwaukee m18
I use Milwaukee M18 impacts. The 1/2" is the 2763-20 model. The 3/8" is the 2754-20 model. These are older models, they have newer versions now.
same bolts for 2010 accord?
Has the SP68100 been discontinued?
Yes, nvm, it has been sadly. :(
What r the symptoms of a bad lower control arm
Question when driving & going fwd would you hear a pop sound?
I hear the same thing too
Yes mine does s slight jerk when u get it out of park
You can use a ball joint separator, there cheap to buy
I need mine done too. Same car. Let me know when your available.
What is fluid film? Is it found with the same name in the market?
Never mind! I found it on your list but I don't have it. Anything else instead?
Own a 2013 Acura TL and need to do this work as well. Any chance you are in Southern California. Would rather pay you to do this job than do myself.
What were your symptoms?
Hello brother Good my Honda accord 2.4 2003 ideal rpm high problem
Check your idle control valve
Thanks for this great video.
A question for you, did you replace the other 2 bushings of the arm? If not, does that mean they are still work fine?
Those fail but not that often
Looks like the bushing extractor was in such high demand that they just discontinued it? Can anyone explain?
What’s the fair price to have this component replaced ? Is it better to just replace bushings or whole part?
No right or wrong answer to that, as there are pluses and minuses to doing each. But as these cars age, it can be more cost effective to buy a good quality aftermarket control arm and replace the entire thing. As far as pricing, it can vary widely depending on the cost of the part (cheap vs quality aftermarket vs OEM etc) and the labor rates in the area you live.
BigDog50001 recommends replacing the Honda stabilizer links with Moog links, and I agree. However, Moog does not offer or make available their 15mm locknuts. The BigDog50001 dyi video replacing Honda Accord rear Struts, he states the stabilizer link locknut must be removed to release the stabilizer links and make room to replace the rear strut. However, BigDog50001 omits any discussion as how to re-secure the Moog stabilizer link. I have searched and found only one possible replacement 15mm flanges metal locknut via McMaster Carr, but there is no reference or mention of any compatible replacement locknut and Moog does NOT make their locknuts available. Any guidance on how to reconnect the Moog locknut would be extremely helpful. Does Honda sell their stabilizer link locknuts, but Moog does not? If so, how do we secure the “superior quality” Moog link once the locknut is removed? Thanks, David
Yes there is a catch 22 when dealing with stabilizer/sway bar links. Honda sells replacement locking nuts but Moog does not and Moog usually uses a different size nut so they are not interchangeable. When I am doing these jobs the stabilizer links are usually not new or anywhere close to new so it is not an issue for me. They are typically cheap enough that I just replace the stabilizer links with new ones when doing these jobs rather than try to save the old ones and find replacement locking nuts. There are aftermarket manufacturers that make locking nuts, just have to get the correct size.
Dear Dave
Thank you for the prompt and frank response concerning the Moog links that require new locknuts. One of the techs who responds to issues regarding Moog stabilizer link issue suggested that the metal locknuts could probably be used a second time if they are relatively new. While your answer is the correct one, it seems the Moog metal locknuts might have one second life in them.
Thanks
David
Any chance i can borrow this tool? Ill pay for shipping both ways
