Hmmm bolt that big fits in your sock at the junk yard. Here they charge a minimum of a dollar and then theres the tax on the 2 bucks you pay to get in and the 1.25 hazardous waist fee on everthing. So your looking at 4 bucks to get anything here. So the sock Idea works alot for little parts.

While doing the ES bushing install, the front LCA bolt and the rear strut/LCA bolt BOTH locked up. The bolt rusted (or molecularly bonded) into the metal sleeve inside the bushing (seeing that your from upstate NY, you're probably having the same problem). Also, cars in junkyards tend to rust out even more... so you'll probably have the same issue.

I ended up grinding both of these bolts off; I ordered a replacement from Honda for the front (~$5) and went to the hardware store for the rear ($0.99); Try to find a nut that fits the bolt from the other side and bring it with you to the hardware store (easy to find a match)... And get the strongest steel bolt you can find!
