FYI on a 88-91 Civic (did it to an 89) all you should have to do is unbolt the achnor bolts and their connection to the UCA and then the UCA will swing around easy for you to install the camber kit. I didn't have to remove any ball joints or anything, just the anchor bolts.

Side note does anyone know how to get the ball joint out? We tried everything from hammering to using ball joint tools which didn't even work well. So just wondering if anyone has pics of removing ball joints out of a UCA
