ok as you guys know, today is so nice and warm outside so i decided to do the DIY axle swap and suspension. I bought all the tools i needed and everything was good to go. But as i was trying to remove the axle nut, that thing was just so hella tight. I tried to put some lubricant to loosen it up but still wont budge. i used a breaker bar and guess what?? the bar broke in half. So i decided to give up on that since I think I just broke my shoulder and wrist as well. :cry:

So I moved on to the suspension, everything seems fine, i was able to remove the two 12mm bolts that hold the brake line to the shock but when I tried to remove the bolts at the top of the shock fork and the one at the lower control arm, they both seemed stuck. I tried my hardest to twist em off but i noticed the lower control arm's rusted skin started peeling and cracking so i just stopped right there because I dont wanna break anything.

So my questions are:

1) Can you guys recommend any trusted shop around mississauga area that charges at a reasonable price? and..

2) Do you know how much would they charge me for just replacing the front passenger side axle (since I already bought an axle from PartSource)? and how much for just swapping my suspension with my lowering springs already assembled in the shocks (so basically they just need to drop the old one and put this in)?

Thank you so much for reading my long boring post lol and would really appreciate to hear back from u guys asap.

BTW i have a 95 integra. THANKS!

Too bad your weren't close to barrie / borden and I would do it for a case of ice cold keiths. :P

What size of breaker bar were you using 3/8" Drive? I wouldn't use anything less an 1/2" Drive or an impact.
