ALB(Anti-Lock Brake) is an old-fashioned ABS installed in the early model NSX. This work is based on the assumption that it will be replaced with a late model ABS. The infamous ALB had been working fine until now, fortunately or unfortunately. However, from about two months ago, the compressor rang frequently, probably because the pressure could not be accumulated well, and the ALB suddenly stopped working during the previous circuit run, so the new tires became useless in an instant. Finally, I lifted my heavy waist and decided to replace it with ABS and prepared the parts, but for some reason it seems to be working normally these days. It was as if ALB was begging for “Don’t replace”. First, remove the spare tire bracket to remove the blower fan. After that, shift the duct for taking in outside air and remove the couplers in three places. Then remove the upper two bolts and the lower two bolts, and shake the blower fan toward you to remove it. Then remove the battery. Now you are ready to remove the old pipe. I don’t use the old pipe anymore, so I will cut it with a clipper without hesitation. An incident […]
Take measures against rain leaks in advance. Civic EK9 leaks often come in through cracks in the roof seams. First, remove the roof molding. The rear side can be easily removed by sliding it to the front of the car body. Even so, it’s dirty. When I remove the dirt, there are still slight cracks. The roof of this car has been replaced once, but it still cracks in a few years. Apply a metamorphic silicone caulking. It’s a part hidden by the roof molding, so it’s suitable. Caulking was smoothed with fingers. After that, it seems that there are many intrusions from the hinge part at the base of the rear hatch. After all there is a slight crack around the hinge. Hmm? There are also fine cracks here. I also piled up metamorphic silicone caulking and smoothed it with my fingers. I just want to prevent leaks.
Replace the fuel filter that you think has not been replaced for a long time. The current mileage is 160,000 km. Before starting work, I removed the fuse just in case to release the fuel pressure. It is quicker to remove the intake pipe than to struggle in a small space. Place a waste cloth under the filter in case of gasoline overflow. The fuel filter used is Monotaro. Two copper washers are also included. First, loosen the flare nut on the lower side. A flare nut wrench of 14mm is required as it is fairly tight. Gasoline will leak, so tighten it lightly. After loosening the upper union bolt, loosen and remove it with 2 bolts and 1 nut on the bracket, 10 mm. It is easier to have a universal joint and a deep socket. The figure which removed the whole bracket. It smells so bad because it leaks a lot of gasoline. The plastic bracket to which the mysterious hose is connected has crumbled. Old and new fuel filters. I like black like genuine. Insert a new copper washer above and below the union bolt and tighten it tightly. Start the engine, check that there are no […]
