I'm trying to change my front ARB. I've got the drop links and the rubber bushy thingy's off so the bar's free but I can't figure out how to remove the poppers on the small bit of undertray that's stopping from removing the old ARB. I'm sure I'm just being simple. Any ideas?

 

If they are the ones I'm thinking of all you need to do is use a flat bladed screwdriver to pop the central plug up by a few mm, then you can pull it out all together and then the outside collar can be simply removed as well.

 

Yes - there should be a gap around the edge where you can easily put in a flat head screwdriver and twist. Then once the middle part comes out, the whole thing should come loose.

 

Be very gentle with the poppers... Honda charge over the odds for replacements.

 

Managed to kill 4 of the 7. Got ARB fitted, but didn't bother putting that part of the undertray back on. I'll get hold of some poppers at some point and get it back on.

 

50 mins to swop the front ARB back to OEM this afternoon - then the rain held me back from fitting the final couple of poppers. I've fitted them now.

I'll be selling the Tanabe ARBs shortly

 

You can get those poppers from Halfords. Should be cheaper than Mr Honda.

Edit.. or maybe these ones are too small

 

I couldn't find the same poppers in Halfords when I looked last year - the Halfords poppers were too small (found a bag of them in my toolbox last night).

 

Perhaps you were halucinating.....
