They’re good, haven’t had any issues

@luckycarguy can you please tell me the brand and where you got them from . I am trying to get new ones for mine. I was trying to get the OEM but can't get them.

FCS auto. I ordered them off rockauto.com

@luckycarguy thank you I'll look it up.

Thank you 😊

No problems at all. But I suggest to change the control arms and others parts as well. The brand I used was FCS from rockauto.com They have a front end suspension kit. I’m going to change all that soon. I wish I did it when I changed the struts.

Did you get the suspension kit they have at rock auto? Do the work good ?

@angelsreview25 no I only got the struts but I should have. I plan to a little later tho

I think life’s to short but I go back and fourth with it since parts for this are hard to find. I currently have my engine torn down and both the head and block are in a machine shop. When I get it back up and running I’m going to take it out more

I would recommend you do both, I’ll be making another vid of me doing that on mine.

@@luckycarguy there is 2 filters? where is the other one??

@dannydee9919 inside the trans pan.

I’m going to try the duct tape thing lol. I took apart my targa years ago but didn’t use loctite 🤦‍♂️ .

Not sure. I’ve always used 75w90

I think next time I’ll remove more stuff. I did have to muscle out the lower control arm to line up. My way is kinda faster but harder to do. And if your not careful you can mess up the threads on the control arm. But other than that it was ok. Now if you go with aftermarket coil overs it’ll be a piece of cake, in which I wish I did lol.

He’ll yea!

I needed to refurbish the Orginal one since I needed the car the next day. And I haven’t had any problems with the start since

Unfortunately dealers will always try to up sell you.

pretty sure all the new gen cars are going this route unfortunately

Not to long Mabe 45mins. I didn’t have all my tools with me that day

If you planning to have the van for longer then 4 years, its better to get your alternator from Autozone, they have life time warranty, I got mine 3 years ago and it went bad I just replaced the alternator, it takes more time to take the cover from the Fan then the actual alternator, good look.

Thank you. It was challenging to do. If you use aftermarket coil overs it would be super easy

I used Rockauto.com, you can choose from a few different brands

@@luckycarguy thank you

Take your time when doing it, read the other comments, others ran into trouble and there’s a few things they tried to help get the struts in

Same. Previous owner swapped the fittings to the r134 , the fittings were leaking everything else seemed to be ok. I know he didn’t do it the right way which I still need to do that lol,

@@luckycarguy Yeah, I found the r134 adapters would do that. I ended up going to Home Depot and bought the yellow teflon tape meant for gas fittings and wrapped those on the threads before putting on the adapters.

FCS

Exl model

@@luckycarguy! Thanks

Thanks man, I’m currently uploading the 2nd part of the vid. I fixed my overheating issue which that will be in my next vid, I’m going to swap the engine later on but before that I might throw in a 5speed. I have a vid on here where I replaced the heater core and installed new foam on the hvac box.

It was pretty cool, I know of paradox the wrapper. I didn’t know he wrapped that car tho

@@luckycarguy Yup. Here’s the link to the RUclips video doing it he wrap for that supra. This Mom's SUPRA GETS ICY IN PURPLE GLITTER Fast 9 Themed Design She Taking It To Supras In Vegas: ruclips.net/video/BaoHpM3oLmg/видео.html

It’s a tight space. But the only hard part is the fan shroud , the rest is straight forward as long as you have the right tools. I was away from my home and only had really basic tools with me lol.

@@luckycarguy I got her done, was much easier than I thought it was going to be. Thanks for the help!!

Awesome! I’m glad the vid helped

Yes

Sorry for late reply. , I buzzed them on but also used a breaker bar on it, I would suggest 85 -100 ft lbs. but I always go tighter since I’m paranoid lol

I wonder why. I might change these to aftermarket coil overs later on if I keep it.

Do you have a second jack? Mabe put a jack stand under hub and put the hydraulic jack under control arm and try to lift

I’m curious if you got it?

What I did was I used a ratchet strap to keep it from moving away from the holes then i jacked up the knuckles until the holes lined up.

I almost did that but got away with using my body lol , probably should have used the straps since it would have made it easier

Penetrating fluid and a pry bar.

I used pb blaster since mine was a little rusted. It helped

Anytime , I’m glad it helped

Mabe. Is it the same size wire? Not sure if matters

Are you talking about the slave cylinder pump?

@Lucky Car Guy sorry, yes. When I have someone pushing pedal to bleed slave cylinder, hardly any fluid comes out and slave cylinder doesn't move at all.

Is the line connected? Did you remove the rubber boot off the new slave? And Did you bleed the new slave cylinder?

@Lucky Car Guy Yes, I took everything apart and reinstalled. All I can think of is the slave cylinder needs to be bled a lot more.

Seems like it. I like to use the one man bleeder tool. Seems to go faster just need to make sure your reservoir stays full of fluid

Thank you 😊

PB Blaster is the yellow top can, the blue paste is breakable loctite

@@luckycarguy thank U

A few hours. I would read the comments to see what your getting yourself into. It’s a pita to do

Mabe one day

Hey sorry for the late reply. Did you figure it out? I’m curious to know why you didn’t have enough room for the strut to come out

I'm having the same problem. Once the all the bolts are off and I lower the control arm, there is not enough room for the strut to clear the knuckle. The control arm is all the way at the bottom and the strut still mounted at the top and I'm still 1 inch off. Could the 2013 model be different in this regards with the 2014 year model? @@luckycarguy

the part where you sit in? theres metal taps that go into place.. the upper part had bolts

@@luckycarguy ok thanks 👍🏻

help the corrosion, mine was getting rusty., it also helps with heat.

He’ll ya!

I’m not entirely sure tbh, I’ll have to do some research

Bilstein but those are expensive

@@JohnS-il1drfor Accord they are very very tough

KYB for a slight upgrade or FCS for direct factory setting replacement.

Sorry for the ridiculous late reply. Thank you, I get paranoid with sensors lol

Did mine at around 128k, I noticed my rear tires had lumps so that told me the rear were bad. So I decided to do all of them.

U need struts

Any help?

It took me a long time as well. I eventually got it. But I just had a conversation with a co worker who had this problem as well. He told me he took a lot of things off. Meaning the brake caliper and etc. I haven’t Tried his method but he swares it made things much easier. I think it’s because all the weight coming off makes it easier 🤷‍♂️

I hope this helps. I did put a warning in the vid that this is a pita to do and it may take a while to get those bolts.

Thankss😂!

Np. We’re you able to get it?

At least you were able to get it. It did take me some time to wrestle with it

Hope you find someone who can help. It’s not easy when you reach the two bolts. Some have better luck but most of the time it makes the job hell.

@@luckycarguy supposedly you can take the cv axle off

I’m curious on it,, seems like a alot of people are having problems with it

Did you use the blade to crush the broken glass inside. Try to move it in different areas of the crack as well. For me it worked wonders

Had to keep moving positions to get it to line up. Another way you can do it is drop the whole control arm, Also use your jack to lift up on it as well

@@luckycarguy I was able to get them in after some time. I dropped 2 of the LCA bolts underneath the subframe and loosened one (outer bolt). Then like you said maneuvering the jack and putting your body into it all while using a pry bar for additional leverage to align the holes Your video helped out a lot and those two bolts were definitely a struggle. Thanks for replying

Anytime, I’m glad I was able to help. It took me forever to figure a way to get those bolts in.
