Question about my Bushings I purchased

tukai · 11-20-2007, 05:45 PM

I have an 06 civic si and have had a very hard time getting the cotter pins off. Is there some sort of trick to it? Do I bend the bent areas or push the area that looks like a bulb? Will I ever need those again or can I just break em off? It's the only thing stopping me from completing this. My cotter pin looks like this below. However chrisfrofro's 07 si's pins look totally different

Also thanks to CorSport for sending me a T-Shirt for my Birthday. Very nice of you all.

close the pins "legs" and pull on the head.

The 07 pins look a bit different, but the ones that corsport supplies are a little more hefty.

Looking at that picture, when you say close the legs, does that mean pinch them together?

ThatsMrGimp2U · 11-20-2007, 06:34 PM

you got it. right now they seperate and point back toward the head, straighten them.

***chrisfrofro*** · 11-21-2007, 02:16 AM

just remember. when the legs close, pull it out

***CorSport*** · 11-21-2007, 09:32 AM

Yeah, just straighten the clip and pull -- but honestly if you are having trouble at that point in the install you might want to have a shop do the install. We charge $25 to do them, $50 if they have a stock intake.

Chrisfrofro is coming over this weekend to help me install it. I have never seen cotter pins prior to this install and had no idea how to remove it.

***CorSport*** · 11-21-2007, 11:16 AM

COol, sounds good, let us know if you need more help.

tukai · 11-21-2007, 11:32 AM

1 question for you Tai. Will I need the old cotter pins anymore? The ones with the package look much more sturdy.

***CorSport*** · 11-21-2007, 12:04 PM

No you will not need to keep the old ones.

tell us how shifting feels after you get this installed. I was planning on buying the kit just not sure if it makes THAT much of a difference yet.

***CorSport*** · 11-22-2007, 09:18 AM

Makes a huge difference.

Corsport FTW

Best mod I've done yet. Shifting is fast and crisp like it should have been from the factory. In my opinion it took about 90 percent of the slop out of my shifter. Get the skunk 2 knob also.......very heavy, also just break off the old cotter pins by twisting back and forth and use the new ones that come with the kit.
