I need a new passenger side front strut and strut fork. Will i need any special tools for the removal of these from a junk yard car with some decent ones? Anybody know of any really good diagrams i can look at to make this removal any easier while im at the yard?

 

Since you need the shock and fork you just remove the 2 12mm nuts on top of the shock from under the hood. The shock fork is held on to the control arm with a nut and bolt, just remove those and work the shock/fork combo out.

 

thanks a lot, is that all it is lol? and is the strut also known as the shock?

 

A strut is bolted directly to the spindle/knuckle. Your Civic has shocks, people always say strut though for some reason.
