These were recalled bushings Honda used. The problem was the family member that gave us this Pilot either ignored or didnt understand the letters they received from Honda offering free replacement =^/ Honda even extended the recall offer, and they still never responded. So when given to me...

I think this was part of my problem using hammer approach.

BMFH tricky in that tight space working off jacks. I used a 3# and 10# sledge, no luck. Got a little unwieldy with 10# in that tight space. On a lift I think she would have popped quickly.

I asked a couple neighbors if they had an air hammer, no luck. Definitely need to invest in one for sure.

I was suspect at the quality, turned out to be fairly beefy tool. My next step was swinging the axel out and leaving LCA and BJ in place. The bushing swap would have been a bit tricky on ground crammed in wheel well.

Thanks for all the replies. I was going to apply them all in order of complexity for DIYer working off driveway, and cost (buying air hammers an BMHS, etc). All of them great ideas. I started with the larger BJ separator off Amazon since the ones borrowed from Auto Zone too narrow in the...

Have a 2009 Honda Pilot Im trying to get the God d$m#d lower control arm ball joint off to replace the LCA bushing. And it will not go. I have tried the "shock and awe" approach (big hammer banging on knuckle) - no luck. Banged long enough with 5# sledge I just dont think its going to go that...

I got this for $25. Took 20 years of oil and dirty off of it and polished it up as best I could. Kind of cool. Thinking about converting it to a floor lamp with LED coming from the space age monitor up top. Anyone ever deal with these? I have this black plastic ring that came off of it...

Thanks Jackfre. That looks like a great heater! It's a little out of my budget though.

Looking for a basic propane heater 5-8K BTU for a two car garage non insulated walls (except for the brick exterior.) Basic boring suburban 2 car garage. Lots of propane heater out there, considering the Mr Heater ones. But one of my main criteria are quiet because I like to listen to music...

Thanks for all the help! I got it working and learned some things (the best part). I kept the terminal block, but may alter it soon as the original power cord is cheap braifed ****. Never thought about pulling the original terminal ock Thanks for a the help! Next project: converting rear...

One last question I hope. Otherwise Docks nice breakdown and the schematic to account for my power cord having three black wires and one white. Both scenerios provided leave two unaccounted black wires in my setup, see pic above.

NOW I get it!!!! :bowdown:

Lol. Thanks zmax. That's pretty cool about the loops. Did not know (obviously). Thanks for all the patience, and letting me keep my man card.

Thanks everyone. That's exactly what I needed. Will post followup when complete. Think my light is from 2007. Might consider that LED conversion.
