Hi. I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
Hey, everyone. Sue here from 1A Auto. And today on our 07 Honda Accord we have in the shop, we're going to do rear sway bar links. If you need those parts or any other parts for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1aauto.com.
19 millimeter socket to loosen up the lug nuts. I'm going to use a two post lift to raise my vehicle. You can use a jack and jack stands at home. Now I can take my 19 millimeter socket, now that I've raised it up, I can remove the lug nuts to take the tire off.
Rear sway bar links, 14 millimeter wrench. I'm going to place that on the top link on the nut. My nut, and it's a five millimeter Allen head socket that goes right in the center of it. I'm just going to give it a little tap right in there. I pre-sprayed but I'm going to spray again cause of the weathering element. See if I can make sure there's no rust sticking there. Okay now I'm going to put my ratchet on there.
Let's see if we made enough room that we can actually put a pair of locking pliers in the back there. And then we'll use a socket. Now I have a pair of needle nose locking pliers and there's a metal lip, washer flat side on the other side. Once I loosen it up enough, I can grab it with these and lock this down. Now I can put a socket on there. And that's just the top. Got the bottom to go.
Okay the lower sway bar link, we're going to do the same thing. Just have a little bit more room to work with. I'm going to put the locking pliers on there. 14 millimeter socket. Marvelous, look at that.
Here we have our brand new sway bar link from 1A Auto, and here I have the manufacturer's one I just took off our 07 Honda Accord. It's still the original equipment by the looks of it and you can see their design. They put the Allen head and a little flat washer there. With a 1A one, puts a space for our open end wrench and the new nuts. They're both sealed units, non-greasable. If you need this part or any other part for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1aauto.com.
Now we're going to reinstall our new rear wheel sway bar links and we're going to install the one of the bar first. Start the nut. Now we have the freedom of moving it back and forth, nut down. The inside bolt hex is a 14 millimeter open end wrench, and the outside is a 15 mm. So 14 mm on the inside, that open-end wrench. And 15 mm socket. I'm just going to snug them because the torque specs is 29 foot pounds. So I'll snug that one and now I'll get to this one.
So I'm going to torque them now to 29 foot-pounds. Now we're just going to repeat the process on the other side. 19 millimeter socket. We're going to torque the wheels up. The wheel torque on this particular model is 80 foot pounds. Make sure you do it in the star pattern, criss-cross and then double check.

Hi. I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
Hey, everyone. Sue, here, from 1A Auto. Today, we have an 07 Honda Accord in our shop, and we're going to be showing how to remove and install the front sway bar links. If you need this part or any other part for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1AAuto.com.
19 millimeter socket to loosen up the lug nuts. Now I'm going to raise and support my vehicle with my two post lift. You can use jack stands with a jack. Now we're clear to remove the tire.
14 millimeter wrench, I'm going to break that nut free and then of course it's going to spin. So I'm going to have to hold the inner part of it. There is an Allen head right here, but there's no way I can get there from that wishbone. I can do it on the top one, but not on the lower. So I'm going to have to hold the inner piece of metal with a pair of locking pliers.
Make sure you can get your wrench out. There we go. I'm going to remove the upper swivel link to the sway bar. 14 millimeter sock wrench again. See how much we can get before it starts to spin. It's spinning. Okay, so we'll put some locking pliers on the back just like I did on the bottom. See if I can hold that firm.
Wonderful. Now we can remove the sway bar link from the actual linking control arm. I'm going to just take a pry bar and see if I can pry that free.
To install the front sway bar link, it's just basically two reverse procedure. I like to put the sway bar link into the top of the sway bar first. The new nuts are a 15 millimeter, not a 14. It still has the Allen head in the center, which is a five millimeter Allen head.
Now I'm going to put the lower one in. Start the nut. With the wishbone in the way, I have found that it's kind of difficult to put an Allen head in there and hold that. So you're going to have to use a pair of the needle nose vise grips like I did to remove it just being careful, not pinching the new boot, using a gear wrench, ratchet wrench. I'm going to snug that pretty much as tight as I can get it because I'm going to end up torquing it.
Now I'm going to start the bottom. Put a pair of locking pliers on there, needle nose locking pliers. See if I can catch it without pinching that boot as careful as I can be. I'm going to put a longer wrench on here to tighten this because obviously I can't get a torque wrench in there. The specs for this is 22 foot pounds.
Now I can put a torque wrench on the top. So we're going to torque this to 22 foot pounds. Okay. Now we're ready to put our wheel back on. I'm just going to snug them up by hand then I'll lower it down on the ground with the weight of the vehicle on it and I'll torque the wheel to 80 foot pounds.
19 millimeter socket, and we're going to torque the wheel to 80 foot pounds in a star pattern. Double check. Now we're going to repeat the process on the other side.
