worst thing you ever had to fix on your 3gee

[lostforawhile]

what is the worst thing you ever had to fix on your three gee. In my case it was def the heater core, whoever designed this dash was a f*&^%$g idiot. all the custom stuff i had done with the dash had to come out the center console had to come out, the steering wheel had to come off,the columb had to be lowered combination switch had to come out,blower assembly,cables for the heat control levers,instrument panel,heat control box, it woldn't have been so bad but i had a ton of wiring i had added behind the dash for the stereo,alarm,power locks,mirrors etc. i hadn't designed any of it to come out,well you get the idea. you have to gut half of the car to get to the stupid core then they put half the bolts inside and half in the engine compartment. why????!!!! all this work and you take a little panel off the back of the heater box and the thing slides out. the plate sits against the firewall for crying out loud, why couldn't they have put an access panel under the hood?? it would have saved me two days work to have just pulled the engine and transmission out slid out the heater core replaced it and put the motor back in. I spent three days working an average of 20 hours a day to put everything back the way it was before. AUGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! lets hear some mechanical horror stories

[jaiden]

Front suspension for me. The bottom bolt in the fork would NOT come out (yes, I have a 1400 ft lb air gun). The bushings were absorbing all the force. Finally had to cut it with an air cutoff wheel, then push out the bushings with an air chisel, then take it somewhere to have new bushings pressed in. But, before that, spent probably a total of 40 hours on it over 3 weekends.

This is now known forevermore as "the bitch bolt"

Interestingly, I was watching one of those car shows, which normaly fixes up old muscle cars. Kind of like "Trucks", but for cars. Anyway, they have been throwing in one import segment per show, presumably to broaden their audience. They had a 3g on it, and did the front suspension. "all you have to do is remove this bolt (points to bolt), and swing the control arm out of the way" (camera cuts away, and as the control arm swings away I see the BOLT IS CUT!) As the show closed, they had like outtakes or an extra comment or whatever and the guy was basically like "holy crap, that's the hardest front end job I've ever done"

Glad to know I'm not alone.

PS. one of the bitch bolts is still stuck! I had a guy finish the job for me,and he split it at the balljoint.

[lostforawhile]

are youj talking about the pinch bolt that holds the fork to the bottom of the strut? must have corroded i have a set of suspension parts i'm having powdercoated one piece at a time and they came right off of the strut. i guess when i put new struts in i'll use those instead of trying to take the other ones apart. might have saved me some effort.

[buds302]

i had the same problem but i used a torch and cut the whole arm away and went and spent something like 50 bucks for a new one i didnt like the bushing in it anyway it was all dryrotted and stuff. but man whe the torch made it to the rubber bushing dude i thought my car was going up in flames!! that thing burned for an hour! now that was only one side of the car. the other side i got smart and took the whole thing off the car including the springs. and put it in a vise and beat the hell out of it with a 15 pound hammer! it took about an hours worth of beating to get it out. but it saved me from spending more money.

[lostforawhile]

next problem step right this way please http://photobucket.com/albums/b205/moultriemanicmechanic/th_tn8.jpg

[FyreDaug]

Ball joints after I tried pulling them outta the control arm and ripped the shit out of the boot. Turned out the ball joints had to be cut, they wouldnt come out on their own.

[HostileJava]

Haha well so far the worst has been replacing the damn crank. I just don't have enough time to work on it and it seems like I run into one problem after another.

['A20A3']

I've completely removed an entire front suspension setup and I've removed the entire rear suspension setup except for the rear struts. I removed the front brakes, the radiator, the cylinder head, the block, transmission, exhaust, ah fuck it, I've done almost everything you can do.

The cylinder head removal is a bitch! I can't get the exhaust manifold brace unbolted. I'm one fucking bolt away from victory! Ahhhhhhhhh!

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Some things have been a big pain in the ass... I think the top two are the front suspension... front fork to lower arm bolts were siezed,, real pain in the ass.

And it sounds dumb but the fuel filter is retarded... in such a bad spot, and the fitting that honda decided to use on the one line is retarded... no tool fits well on it.,

[acranox]

The gasket between the thermostat housing and the block.
To remove the Air Suction Pipe required spending about 20 minutes with a pipe wrench, turning the nut about 1/8 of a turn, taking the wrench of, turning it around, readjusting it, then turning the nut another 1/8 of a turn, and then repeat.
What a pain.
The EGR pipe was hardly any easier.

[lostforawhile]

what air suction pipe, hehe. cut the bastard off removed the threaded plug from one end fusion welded in a piece of pressed in steel rod and no more air suction pipe. it't a lot eaisier to work with without that dammed tube in the way. to get it off the first time i got a big ass metric wrench cut off the end and made a special crows foot. thats after cussing at it for a couple of days. i lucked out i haven't had any problems with removing suspension parts. i took the whole suspension out of an lxi at the junkyard i'm just rebulding it one piece at a time. when i'm all done i'll swap out the whole thing. but how the hell do you get the nut all the way off that radius rod.

where is the fuel filter on our cars? i was planning to change mine but couldn't find it. and now i have real motivation.

but anyway, this heater hose that i'm about to change won't be fun. especially with a warm engine.

[ICEMAN707]

what is the worst thing you ever had to fix on your three gee. In my case it was def the heater core, whoever designed this dash was a f*&^%$g idiot. all the custom stuff i had done with the dash had to come out the center console had to come out, the steering wheel had to come off,the columb had to be lowered combination switch had to come out,blower assembly,cables for the heat control levers,instrument panel,heat control box, it woldn't have been so bad but i had a ton of wiring i had added behind the dash for the stereo,alarm,power locks,mirrors etc. i hadn't designed any of it to come out,well you get the idea. you have to gut half of the car to get to the stupid core then they put half the bolts inside and half in the engine compartment. why????!!!! all this work and you take a little panel off the back of the heater box and the thing slides out. the plate sits against the firewall for crying out loud, why couldn't they have put an access panel under the hood?? it would have saved me two days work to have just pulled the engine and transmission out slid out the heater core replaced it and put the motor back in.

trust me the 3gee dash is the easiest dash to remove compared to any car. 7 bolts holding the dash, steering wheel, instrument cluster, and steering column...that's all that needs to be removed. i've taken my dash off like 12 times no problem. once you know where all the bolts are located, it's very easy the 2nd or more times around.

try removing a camaro, firebird, bmw, mercedes, cavalier amongst others and you'll see how much more a pain in the ass taking the dash off these cars are.

fuel filter is on the firewall next to the black vacuum box. it's a black canister with a fuel line coming from the gas tank and one to the fuel rail.

I'd have to say the friggin rack and pinion...really sucks doing it by yourself.

yea if everything on my car was stock it would be easy to remove. i've got so much custom stuff in there along with the center console all the wiring the radio diferent modules to different stuff i've created over the years, and all the wiring was bundled in one piece at a time. gauges etc. everything had to come out then because i had put everything in one piece at a time i had to create new wiring harnesses. there is still a lot to take out even after the dash is removed like the blower assembly has to come out then other stuff has to be moved around to get the stupid heater box out. it would have been so much easier to have an access panel on the firewall. I used to do a lot of custom stereo work so i've taken out my fair share of dashes before still think this one is a pain in the ass. :lol:

[lostforawhile]

fuel filter is on the firewall next to the black vacuum box. it's a black canister with a fuel line coming from the gas tank and one to the fuel rail.snap on ya8980 that is the special snap on socket that removes that banjo bolt on top of the fuel filter. it says 89 and later but i think the earlier fuel injected banjo bolts are the same.

[newaccorddriver]

for me, the worst thing i had to fix is still to come, although ive went to the junk yard to yank ouy a transmission. the hardest repair for me is replacing a auto transmission thats fucked with a standard transmission. soon to be done... very soon...

[88Accord-DX]

I had the same problem with that front forks' bottom bolt seized up. I just pulled the strut out from the side of the fender & took out from the top. Did the same thing with the back, (just for spings) cause all my damn bolts where seized up on the bottom. The new fuel fitler on the back needed hose clamps, it is in a bad spot to get too. The crank pulley bolt was real hard to break loose. My hardest thing to fix will be coming up later with a motor re-build, all the hard to reach bolts I know are there.

[snoopyloopy]

and actually, fixing the lower water heater hose was easier than fixing the two hoses at the top of the engine by the entrance to the manifold. probably because this one was made to fit, those weren't.

[Strugglebucket]

nothing on my 3g has been that hard. and i've done everything from rebuilding the engine to swapping the tranny from auto to manual.

worst thing i've probably done was a clutch job on a friend's 4g. getting the transmission back in was a bitch-and-a-half. i wound up having to rent a hoist because the damn thing weighed about 150lbs(manual!) and i could lift it, but i couldn't hold it up long enough to get it to fit. there's like a mm of clearance between the frame and where the tranny is when it's mainshaft meets the flywheel. yup...plus i dropped it a couple times and chipped a toof.:(

[ICEMAN707]

i would say removing the EGR pipe, the intake manifold, and the head would probably the pain in the ass jobs. all 3 are related too.

[lostforawhile]

yea that egr pipe is a real pain. if the thermostat housing gasket goes bad at the head it has to come off. it doesn't bend back into the same shape it ws when it came off. hey do you know where to get one? dealer says they don't make them anymore.

[POS carb]

rebuilding the automatic
:pc:

[buds302]

Haha well so far the worst has been replacing the damn crank. I just don't have enough time to work on it and it seems like I run into one problem after another.


hey jim did you ever find the right size bolt you needed?? i would have went to the j-yard and got it but i havent had the time to do it i might make it next week. hey what size did you need again? it was the 17 mm right? or was it the 19?

[Versanick]

When I was backing out of my friends' driveway, my upper control arm FELL out of the fender well. The whole area was rusted and busted. I took it to a welder and he welded it back on.

The other worst thing (tied) was my entire right side suspension, from the lower arm, castor rod, and everything in between from smacking a curb at 50MPH... man that hurt... after spending $120 at the junkyard in new parts, almost nothing fit, because my FRAME (unibody) was crunched 3"+ in. I took it to a shop to get it pulled. But that was the worst mess I'd ever tried to fix. Sukc

[SephirXV]

This is now known forevermore as "the bitch bolt"

I hear that.

[Deadhead]

well, i've not gotten into that stuff too much yet, but the worst thing i had to do was probabaly backflushing the radiator. I had to get the lower radiator hose off of the housing.... it was stuck and i didn't have a good tool to get it off, i had to use my brute strength lol. took me about 20 minutes just trying to get the damn thing off

[gp02a0083]

replacing the drivers side axel, tried everything to get the lower control arm un done but the pin fused to the bushings and such also the power sttering line on the lxi goes behind the engine and wraps around the engine 3/4's of the way not to mention with the tight space and metal lines it wasa bitch

[ShimriC]

For me its everything ive ever had to do to that damn car, especially the alternator,. it was originally planned to be a days worth of work 2 max,. turned out it took almost a week. i thought i could just yank everything out of the engine bay and pull it out from there but that wasnt the case,. i had to take the drivers side axel just to get to the thing. Then i had to change my thermostat,. i thought that would take a couple of hours,. that ended up being a week. the stupid bolts broke off into the block! I had to get my step dad to get someone at his job to bore them out. and hes so slow with stuff. THEN! changing the down pipe you talk about pissing me off. I had to take off the entire exhaust. then i couldnt get the bolts to come off the pipe,. so i had to go out and buy a tool that forces them off(forgot the name). that project lasted almost a month. i dono why i like these cars so much,. they seem to really piss me off. then after all that the damn engine let go. and i had to go through another bad engine just to get to a good one,. that took almost a half a year. 3geez rule, but there a pain in the arse to work on.

[carotman]

Well, nothing was that painful on the car honestly..

Maybe the EFI conversion was a bit of a pain but it's not that bad.

[FyreDaug]

Well now, I have to replace a bolt that connects the lower control arm to the chassis. Thats gonna be a bitch. Head is sheared off, I'm actually sending it to a mechanic right now, I cant deal with it. I'm gonna smash something on that car soon.

[1ajs]

the hardest thing to do is undo the lower bolts on the intake manifold because you can't get at them took us 5 hours at home to get the botem bolts off and 5 hours to take the same bolts off at the recer not to metion pulling te fuel injection system off the car at the recors to get at the bults but the parts in side the cab for some one els to take don't you hate it when you go out there to get something to find that part was butcherd bye the preiuse person cause they don't know wtf they are doing

Yeah thinking of this, this was probably the worst thing I had to do to the car too.

[im_shad]

Everytime I have touched my car with a wrench has been a nightmare.

Replace thermostat, bolts break off in the block

Do the rear shocks, and the bolts in that heavy duty rubber shit break out, then I had to drill out all the rubber out, to knock out the whole mount, and replace as necessary.

Pull motor to do rear main oil seal, something gets fuct in the harness and my carb lost all power, had to hot wire it

The list goes on, i hate my car, i hate 3geez but yet am still attracted to them.

[Ichiban]

heheheheh!

i cut out and weld repaired the following:
-both rocker panels
-one quarter panel (other one is on its way)
-multiple floor parts (the seams always rot out, never the middle of a panel)
-one front and one rear shock tower
-the entire rear frame rail on the drivers side and a large portion of the inner fender in the rear
-straightened the rad support (took about 4 hours of dragging the car sideways through a field with my toyota pickup)
-i'm sure there's more

after nearly three months of body work, mechanical is a joy now. so many hours of welding on paper thin rusty sheet metal has left me cross-eyed and stupid.

Yea..the passenger axle wasnt much fun to dothing was handing on for dear life..but other than that it wasnt too bad...

[BMS]

the biggest thing that i've ever done on the accord were all four upper balljoints. it wasn't hard per se, but it was time consuming and tiring and expensive.

[89AccordLX2dr]

I've done both c/v's, rear upper ball joints, oilpan, parking brake cable, front lower ball joint, fuel filters (on the drivers side btw, not by the black box). Hardest fix, was the Oilpan project, oilpan itself was easy enough, but the exhaust bolts at the manifold to collector were the BITCHBOLTS ROYAL!! First one came off fine, second one the nut rounded off, the third broke the stud. Had to chissel the one nut off, so I had two studs to replace, the one I could get out, the other? Had to take it to shop where it took the exhaust specialist 6 attempts at welding a nut on the stud and twisting the stud out. Then I had to special order new studs from Honda. As for every other project, no major problems. But I have to do the master cylinder tomorrow? Assuming the lines will twist when I try to loosen them from the cylinder, I'll (most likely) have to run new lines (which the fronts need anyways) but I don't want to do lines until I have time, need the car to get to work. Timing every light and keeping 30 car lengths away from anyone is getting on my patience, I think I need brakes!!

By the way, does anyone have a stick welding machine for sale? This is on hold until I finish fabbing up the front crossmember.

Oh yeah, second hardest thing to fix: Wiring fault in the A/C system... in 108 degree F heat.

[Ichiban]

i don't think theres anything on a honda that you can stick weld! i haven't used mine for probably 2 years but i don't really want to part with it, i was gonna use it to weld my header tubes to the flange, to get the penetration, you know.

its funny out here they spread the salt down the middle of the highway, so every vehicle over 10 years old is mint on the passengers side and rotten on the drivers. most dealers and warehouses are full of parts for the right side only!

[rick_spiff]

I get ya. And yes, I've tried to stick weld on the Honda itself, but this time I need to build a new crossmember. Out of 1/8" steel. It'll work good, but the only machine I have access to I can only get on the weekends and it's over 20 miles away. Difficult to say the least.

I'm going to keep saving, route my new fuel lines, and if I have the cash together by the end of this month, get a buzz box and start on the *easy* stuff. Heh.

Getting transmissions out.

Getting transmission (auto) out of the 3G to replace the rear crank seal; a weekend spent to replace a $15 part... but it was leaking f@#$&g badly that it would spill oil up to the timing hole. It was not that bad to get it back up (I had my son's help) and a bit of experience w/another transmission before (read below)

Getting the transmission (manual) out of the Civic to replace the clutch (twice!). The first time I was alone trying to get it back up to the engine with no hoist!!!. I eventually managed to get it in place with ropes and a piece of wood stuck on top of the engine bay (I should have taken photos of it)

[russiankid]

Probably the rack and pinion. Not that bad of a job, but its not fun in a very humid and hot environment.

to be fair its not a car i use every day.. and there is stuff i could be doing like an overhaul on the brakes and suspension.. and then there is always the rust on the rear arches, thats another thing that needs doing.

-Re install hatch glass (what a major bitch!)
-Re+Re rear suspension and fuel tank, sandblast, paint (getting the fuel filler neck back in is a PITA)

[2ndGenGuy]

Brake rotors on a 1gee.

[beran24]

There has been alot of small things that never go good for me. But the worst was lower control arm bolts. Passenger side i cut the bottom one and the top one actually turned out. The drivers side cut the bottom and changed the bushing with the arm still on the car drilled all the rubber out then put a hack saw blade there the hole and sliced the metal sleave that was left from the bushing then tapped it out with a hammer and flat screw driver. Then pressed a new bushing in with a vice. I tried to start the top bolt and it wouldnt turn so i left it...

Another pain was the pedal box when i swapped from auto to 5 speed

[Vanilla Sky]

After working on a '92 Camaro, everything on the 3gee is a walk in the park. It's time consuming and tedious, but not complicated like that POS.

[2ndGenGuy]

Swapping in a B20A into a car it never came in. Though I imagine it was a walk in the park compared to what Mike is going to have to do...

[maka_RTH]

Most everything I've done hasn't been too bad. I may have had some hang-ups (like that fun bolt for the strut fork to lower control arm..., haha, I've had a few of them that were siezed), but overall things have always worked out and I could go back and do it fairly easily now. Swapping engines, swapping heads, trannies, rebuilding/re-gearing trannies, converting auto to 5spd, full suspension, full brakes (convert to 4-wheel disc), exhaust stuff, car audio stuff, pretty much anything. 3g Accords are fairly simple to work on.

[QUOTE=jaiden;530940]Front suspension for me. The bottom bolt in the fork would NOT come out (yes, I have a 1400 ft lb air gun).

Ah that fork bolt. I remember putting in my suspension. The head of the bolt snapped, and the nut came off at some point. So i have been driving around for a solid 2 years with the remainder of the bolt seized with the bushing. Thats all that is holding together the left side of the lower portion of the suspension on my accord.
