12mm wrench

Procedure:
First remove e-brake covering. Back off e-brake adjuster
enough to remove the cable ends from the bracket.
Loosen lugs, jack up car,
remove rims.
Remove the 5 screws on exhaust heat shielding and take out heat
shield.
Remove the 3 screws that hold the bracket that has the e-brake
cables entering the cabin.
Pull the e-brake cable through bracket. (tough
rubber)
Remove the 2 brackets that hold e-brake cable in place. (Use 12 mm
wrench to ensure no stripping of those screws)
[I stripped them and had
to hacksaw the cable to get the old e-brake lines out.]
Now in the
fenderwell use the pliers to remove pin holding brake line in place.
Next
use the crecent wrench to disconnect brake line.
Make sure to plug line
immediately or you will have fluid all over your floor. Also Brake fluid
DESTROYS PAINT!
Now you can loosen the five bolts that hold the control
arm on.(may need a prybar)
Remove the three 14mm bolts first
Remove the last two 17mm bolts but have the jack under control arm so that
it won't fall on you.
The control arm should come right off.
Installation of integra control arms are the reverse of removal.
You may need a friend to help you hold the control arm up while
installing the first two 17mm bolts.
Once both sides are on simply
bleed the rear brakes.
