I went to the junkyard today and picked up some Prelude a arms. These things are are stuck tight and i can't take them apart to clean & adjust them. I used a shitload of PB Blaster and the damn nuts won't budge! Will the bolts to replace my struts be this difficult? Are there any tricks to doing this? I don't want to have to go to the dealer and by new Prelude a arms.

give them to your girlfriend and have her take them to a shop and ask one of the greasemonkeys to put the impact wrench on them. tell her to say that they are for her car, that she does most of her own work, but can't get these nuts to break loose. by the way, how much did you pay for the arms? they want 45 bucks each at the junk yard near me, I just said thanks but no thanks.
I paid 25$ a side.
I finally put them under my girls car tire like a vice grip and pulled on them and they came looseWhew!!!

I just got a pair of prelude top arms from the scrap yard. I paid £6 ($9) for the pair.
I already had a set (that I paid £10 ($15))but the bushes were splitting where it swivels and honda wanted toooo much for the bushes so I just got another pair of arms with good bushes.
Need to get the washers/spacers then they can go on.
