hi folks, i am wondering if anyone has detailed instructions on how to disassemble tokico (blue) struts. i want to replace the springs on my 95 accord ex sedan. my chilton's manual has instructions for the honda struts, but dunno if it's very different from tokico's. thanks!

 

a couple of more specific questions:

1. if anyone knows, will the upper shaft nut on the stock strut fit on the tokico blues?
2. before removing the strut from the car, do i have to remove the damper fork from the lower arm?

thanks!

 

question no. 2, yes
1, dont know about.

but it shouldn't be very different. if u can do it w/ stock u can do it w/

 

w/ aftermarket

 

if your talking about the nut on top of the strut that you removes and washer to dissasemble your stock struts/ springs then yes it will fit and once you dis assemble it most of your stock parts will have to be switched over. you'll see what i mean once you dissasemble it. i just put my tokicos on and if i was you i would spray all your bolts down or your gonna snap the deads right off.

 

thanks for the info. now i just need to find the time to do it

 

no problem. just be really carefull of the rear strut bolts cuase if you snap the heads off your gonna have to order new bearings and bolts and pay to have someone chop it out.

 

btw, does anyone remember what hex wrench size to use for the damper top shaft?
