just start unbolting stuff... if your not sure where its from when time comes to put it back together, just put the bolts in a zip lock bag and label them and put them next to the part you took off. Keep a small log on how you took it off and where it goes. I always tell my friends this when they doubt themselfs about working on their own cars.
If you go slow and analize before touching anything you can see how everything is put together and it should make you understand what you need to do to take it apart with ease.

Best of luck to you man i hope my advice helps

LOL, those manuals that you get at autozone are crap, literally.

Get the oem honda manual the one in the pdf link above.

I think the honda manual is good. but i bought a paper one instead of using the PDF i think its easyier to find what your looking for.
