Can someone tell me how I take the Hatch Striker off in an 89 lx hatch. I just have to replace the bushing, does the the rod that holds the bushing spin off so I can replace the bushing?

Use a large torx bit , prefably one that has a 3/8 drive on the back side. I believe the torx is either a T45 or T50. Unscrew it and replace the bushing.

After you ge tit off, you'll need to unscrew the pin out of the washer. I ended up pressing it off, then reaming the hole in the washer slightly larger (just to clear the thread). I then ran a tap down the threads to clean it up and put it all back together with a new bushing
