falkore24's photo gallery 		Before you jack up the car, you should loosen the lug nuts.  Put your wrench (or even better, breaker bar) on the lug and stand on it.  That should break it free.  Do that to all of the ones that you need to remove before you jack the car up because it's dangerous to put that kind of torque on them while the car is on jack stands.  Also, I hope that you are not planning to work on the car only supported by a scissor jack .... for that matter, I've killed a scissor jack just by using it too many times to lift the car to put it on jack stands.  My cheap 2-ton floor jack cost $40 at Strauss.  It makes the work soooo much easier.

No shame there.  The stupid tiny lug wrench Honda includes in our cars is weak.  You can't get any good torque on it.  I almost gave myself a fricken hernia once trying to break loose lug nuts.  Now I just put the lug wrench on and stomp on it every time.

Status: offline 		I can't ever find a breaker bar anywhere!  I know it is ridiculous that I can't find one.  WalMart=no, AutoZone=no, Anvance=no, Home Depot=no, Lowes=no.  Sears is in a very bad part of town so I have not looked there yet.  I should probably invest in a bulletproof vest before venturing that way...

Status: offline 		I hate ordering things I could go pick up in person.  There is just something about paying money and having to wait for it that I don't like.  Call me old school, but I still prefer actually going into a store and walking out with something.

Ughhh I just remembered I need a new oil filter wrench.  the stupid one I have only fit the old filters that were on my cars.  It doesn't fit the purolators I use now.  This weekend my oil change took over an hour cause I couldn't get the stupid filter off and my wife was not home.  Good thing I keep my pimp hand strong cause I was finally able to break it loose by hand.  After all of that I went to swap out my PCV valve.  the hose tore. I cut off a small section.  Then I couldn't get the new one in the piece of hose that was still there.  My pimp hand started cramping.  There was excessive use of profanity.  I finally got it in far enough that it appeared it would not pop out.  but I still couldn't get the claimp on right.  I haven't checked it yet.  I think I may do that on my lunch break today.
