Don't forget that the bolts holding the aluminum skid plate that have a 12 mm head are the right size to thread into the rotors to push them off the hub.

There are rounded nut extractors that you should still be able to use - they look like a regular socket with a left-handed twist in them. Some penetrating...

Replaced the coolant hose yesterday. Raised the driver's side with a jack from the front pinch weld, and put jack stands around the car for safety.

Not sure how he determined they're stretch bolts. The repair manual marks them as non-reusable, yes, but so are the bolts holding the subframe to the car and the nuts holding those trailing arm bolts...

1. For 1st gen front is 34, rear is 28. 55 is for the front brackets holding the bushings (22 for the rear brackets). I'm pretty sure 2nd gen would be the same (or very similar).

I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. They're often recommended for track work on a low budget, together with the SX2.

Yeah, I'm not too concerned about reusing the coolant. Just don't want to go through the hassle of full drain and refill... I'll report back after I've replaced the hose.
