Although I kept trying to push out the RR alignment bolt until the end of today, I came to a conclusion that I won’t be able to achieve it with cost effective and safe method. Also, agreed with the owner that I won’t even try to pull the lower ball joint out based on the risk management. After long hours and all the efforts, it is very disappointing and also frustrating because Right side drive shaft inboard joint is the one already leaking ...
While waiting for the penetrating oil to work into the seized camber bolt at the right side, worked on the Left drive shaft. Initially, the spline at the outboard joint into the hub/knuckle was seized but managed to move it earlier this week using the hydraulic puller.

I was planning to return this NSX to the owner this Sunday and I wanted to take off both drive shaft and even paint them by the end of last night. So, started to disassemble the suspension area. I always use torque wrench to loosen the bolt at the toe control arm where it connects to the rear cross beam. I learnt this from my master when working on the NSX kept close to the seacoast in Japan. ...
After finishing the ABS service, started to clean the area around the modulator. When I looked behind the reservoir, I noticed a blue object. It was the A/C Valve cap. Not sure how long it was sitting there but looked like for many years as the valve itself was already corroded with lots of debris around it. So, wiped it off and placed the cap back on ...
