    Tire questions

    For your 2007 Accord, I recommend the Pirelli P4 A/S Plus Persist tires for good handling, great all-season traction and a smooth quiet ride. Good deals can be had on the Pirelli P4 if you belong to a Sam's Club warehouse.

    Added a second ID.4 to the stable.

    No, he is commenting on your date typo which suggests that you can predict the future (see highlighted text below). :ROFLMAO:

    Stupid question about wrench sizes

    Yes! I bet if you measure the hole diameter in the steering knuckle after removing the bolts and strut assembly, it will be ~15 mm too.

    Maxlife ATF Compatibility

    I also use the 3/8" Magnefine filters when installing/replacing the ATF filters on various Honda vehicles. It is usually OK to reuse the OEM constant spring tension hose clamps, but if they have deteriorated, I replace them with high pressure fuel injection hose clamps sourced from Autozone...

    Question on ShellZone Coolants

    2-Ethylhexanoic Acid is a known plasticizer that will soften or dissolve certain plastics including silicone/RTV over time. The acid content also allegedly attacks lead solder joints in brass radiators. Virtually all Asian auto manufacturers specify and only sell 2-EHA free OEM coolants that...

    recommendations for brake hardware brands / what else small parts to buy?

    My recommendation for your Acura RDX is to clean up and reuse the original brake hardware or purchase the OEM hardware from Honda/Acura. After installing dozens of brake pads on Honda/Acura platforms, my experience is that no aftermarket brake hardware parts fit 100% correctly on Hondas &...

    Stupid question about wrench sizes

    I have installed quick struts or replacement strut cartridges on over a dozen vehicles using various brands including OEM, KYB, Monroe, Bilstein, Sachs, Gabriel and cheap Sensens. All of them had the same size bolt holes as the original struts they replaced. However, for your specific...

    Old Floor Jack

    It doesn't specify the type of seals used in the literature; however, I would expect u-cup seals at this price point. Here is a link to the HF Daytona Jack Owner's Manual.

    03 Honda CR-V loses oil like crazy!

    Understood, it appears you will need to give the VIN to the Honda parts counterperson so the correct hose can be ordered. Perhaps early 2003 CR-Vs are different from the late 2003 CR-Vs. I believe the hose configuration is dependent on the intake manifold material (i.e., cast alloy metal or...

    Old Floor Jack

    This 3 Ton Daytona Jack is a beast and worth every penny. I'd wait until HF has a sale on it (maybe Black Friday) and buy the color of your choice. I purchased mine in 2011 and have used it several time a week without any maintenance or repairs. The only thing that has worn out is the rubber...

    Any cheap / free ideas to cool a garage?

    You're going to need a lot of airflow movement if you don't have air conditioning. Perhaps installing a whole house type fan in the back wall will suffice. Or get a big drum fan to blow air into the garage.
