I appreciate you making this video as there don't seem to be too many on this particular part for the gen8 accord. replacing sway bar bushings on these is definitely way harder than it oughta be (kind of like changing the headlight bulbs, why Honda why??). I replaced mine recently and can tell you, one thing that makes this job massively easier is an electric ratchet with that same swivel socket & 14mm. just crack the bolts loose a turn, squirt some penetrating oil on the threads, tighten back up, and then zip 'em right outta there with the e-ratchet.

I can definitely see why people don't do a video on this. What a pain. These bolts come out hard and forget the back bolt.

Literally almost everyone forums.. videos says drop the subframe on 03-07 Honda or Acura to change these sway bar bushings. I saw one comment saying he used a swivel head ratchet and didn't drop his subframe... Then I see this video with a swivel head... looking to be true. I haven't tried changing them yet though..

03 - 07 Accords are 7th gen. Body shape is different around the right side bushing bracket. There is no way to put a ratchet on the bolt without dropping the subframe a bit... even official Honda service manual says so... unfortunately bad design in this case.

What sway bar links did you use since you recommend oem honda ones ???

Did you use a swivel head ratchet or a swivel adapter with a deep 14mm socket?

This is doable without jacking up both sides of the car?

You know your rotors are facing the wrong direction right?

Sorta why I made it if ppl didn’t want to do that there is a way. I have a better ratchet now. That was a 60 some tooth.
