I guess you owe more than what you can sell it for?

When I first got my FD, I bought a 92 civic for $600 as a DD until I could afford a better car

From my experience, it's easier and probably costs the same to replace the entire spindle

Replace a SPINDLE because 1 lugnut is broken

Seems a bit DRASTIC to me...

It was ironic that yours was the first one i ever saw in person, then you sold it bc you were going Haltech, went back to PFC and now you got another commander.

What color did u decide to go with?

Justin, the rear lug replacement is not the same as the front. The front u can get away with not separating the hub with the spindle. The rear u have to separate the hub and the spindle. Once u separate them u will break the wheel bearing journal and have to press in a new bearing. Make sure when you press in the rear bearing that it's properly supported or the journal will separate from the bearing and u will ruin a perfectly good bearing. There is a thread on the forum that gives you the proper sequence and how to support the bearing as u are pressing it in. It's not that difficult of a job if u have the right tools. If u don't have the right tools its nearly impossible.

yeah having the led commander makes it so much easier to read the display, now i dont have to reach over and grab it to actually see the sensor readings.

Today i installed my new turbojeff 51R battery tray and new battery, goodbye autozone yellow top
