U need a Press to take the bearing out.

edit: take the knuckle off yourself like we did Izzy's and take it to a Mechanic shop so they can take the bearing out with their press and then just put the Knuckle back on.

A custom fit replica will fit like an authentic one and it will still be cheaper.

No need for it faaaagggg.... Flashwing from BHR told me to hold off on all the cooling upgrades until After the install so I can even see if there is a difference. Im not going to listen to you over him, ***.

Jedi- After the going FI'd Im not gonna be able to afford a $1800+ front bumper. Plus with all the canyon runs and beach cruises and crap I know there is gonna be a lot of rock chips and what not, so I dont wanna trash a Authentic Front. Maybe When I do get money Ill get an Authentic for show purposes and use the Replica on canyons/beach cruises/ etc.

Got that riiiighhhttt... The Vertex Replica kit is going to cost me nothing since I sold some of my OEM stuff to make up for the loss. The Replica Kit is about $300 after taxes... +$200 or less for Fitment+ paint + Delete the side markers (which I wouldnt do to a Authentic)... I wanna delete the side markers because on a WB or a darker color car it gives it a cleaaann look. So $500 for a new front is not bad when comparing $1800 Front Kit , not to mention the wait time for it to get here from Japan. Then when it does finally get here, who knows really that it will fit 100% , and on top of that, still need paint. With that extra money I save I am planning to get the Linea Corse wheels that I posted. Im still debating on whether or not jumping on getting RB headers.... but we'll see.

Awwww.... volcolm.... u 2 =[[[[[

Whateva you guys are still badass, your cars will just always have a "-1" for being an AT... "-2" if its a 4 ports =P.

But for u and zumn its okay because you both make up for it with a bunch of other mods so its whateva, to everyone their own i guess.

I drive an MT and i still say they do... to each their own, maybe they have a good reason for it or maybe no one took the time to ever teach them how to drive MT and they still loved rotaries and rx8's.

it doesnt mean they care for their car any less that someone with an MT.

They arent out their in bone stock AT's driving it to work and home never red lining the car...

The only people I have sympathy for as far as AT goes is Girls and people that live in like new york. Otherwise there is no excuse. It took me 1 hour to learn how to drive stick
