Default URGENT: Ingalls camber kit question

Im in the process of installing my front ingalls camber kit (1.25-3 positive) and the nuts that came with it don't tighten over the bolt threads at all. I've been working one of the nuts over the bolt for about 30 minutes trying to get it to go all the way down but its tough.

Should these nuts be tightening better, or do I have a defective kit?

It should fit right in? Try oiling it.

Default Camber installation

How do you install the camber kit? Are there any special tools or equipment needed? Just trying to see if I can save some money on the ol '96 Accord. Thanks

The kit was ok, they were suposed to be tight because they were lock nuts. I used the old air wrench and bam job done.

Tools you would need is a 17mm, 15mm, 14mm, and 12mm sockets and wrenches to do the job. Also a good floor jack and jack stands to lift the car. once I figured out my dumb problem I was good to go. Air wrench is god of car tools.....

you can swing by my website and look under my how-to section. it applies to the 4th gen accords but i don't think it would be much different from the 5th. click on the "www" on the bottom.
