    Thumbs up Need A Garage, Tools, and A helping hand for rear disk conversion.

    Spring time is here and the civic needs new makeover in the rear.

    Have a set of rear disks from my gsr parts car and looking for someone with a compressor and knowledge of this sorta thing.
    - need to install new bushings as well on the trailing arms.

    Just thought if someone is bored one day, wants to fiddle around with some brakes let me know.

    I'll pay ya if ya want, or give u pizza.. or beer....

    Why do you need a compressor? And the bushings should be press in-able with a c clamp or vice, no?

    You're gonna break at least one of the front mount bolts for the trailing arm. Use lots of never seize when u put them back in, on the threads and the shank.

    Yeah, that's why I want to have a helping hand and someone that's done this before. And who might have proper tools, I have a gravel driveway so I can't do it.
    I can hammer out and in the new bushings but getting my rear camber off and toe bolt I'm worried. Seize and brake.

    Like I said I can pay with $ pizza or beer lol make a day of it. Would appreciate it. My rear bushings are rotted rn on my drum trailing arms and sound like there coming through my hatch when I hit a bump.

    I don't mind if you want to use my garage but I don't want to be responsible for breaking your car...
