Do you have a shop manual - this is listed on 20-108 and 20-174. Basically the rear shelf/deck out....then the side bolster.....there is talk of the sill trim as well.

automaualsource dot com...$22 for a download - hope you have a good internet connection....or $27 for a shipped CD. Great customer service if you have an issue - my internet wouldn't handle the download ($21.99) for the Pilot....e-mailed them, they sent the CD for no extra charge......and I would have paid the extra $5 for the CD but they said - "we'll take care of it".

If you are going to keep the car for anytime - this >$30 investment is WELL worth it. Spec's, diagrams, how to, ect....that you will not find in a chilton/haynes type book. The only thing better would be a helms manual but now you are >$75.

Anyway there is a combo of clips, screws and "hooks". Basically the rear shlef goes, fold down the rear seat, remove the side bolster. I can try to post the pic's if you need.

EDIT: And yes I've bought the 6th and 7th gen manauls from them just so I can try to help members out....sad I know

Thanks so much for posting those for me! I greatly appriciate it! Now i need to attempt this lol it looks like its gonna be a challenge lol.

I figure i will start on taking all that out so i have acsess to the rear strut when i am going to install coilovers. As my birthday is on july 2nd and thats when i hope to buy my coilovers.

Should make for a less stressful install wish me luck on removing the side bolster and such!

Thanks again!
