    So after I get all my current engine BS taken care of, next job is brakes, which are in pretty bad need.
    I've never jacked all four corners before, just front or back as needed.
    Question is, how do you get all four corners on to stands safely? Front first? Back first?
    One corner at a time?

    I would do fronts first then backs first, but why would you need to get all 4 in the air at once? Can't you do the front brakes first, then the rear? I just redid all 4 rotors/pads on my '05 and I did fronts first, then went to the backs and had no issues (well, except for those stupid set screws that I had to drill out). I would recommend doing it like that unless you need to jack the entire thing up at once.

    Was thinking I'd try a gravity bleed this go-round, just cuz
    So I'd like to have all 4 corners up at once.

    Next question;
    K20A3 OEM TCT
    K24A1 OEM TCT
    The CR-V tensioner is about $20 cheaper, any reason I can't use it instead of the A3 OEM?

    ...maybe this isn't quite the kinda thing that this thread is meant for, but I'm tryin' to get parts ordered ASAP so was looking for quickness!

    I agree. I did this a few years a go to move a table and some chairs, but I had to remove the front passenger seat as well.

    Note: If you remove any of the front seats, your SRS light will come on. Theres a walk through on how to reset it. I've been too lazy to do it though.

    Id just go with the a3 tensioner, even if it did work but was different it wasn't engineered for a different engine, and doing it the right way is worth $20...have you checked the price on it from hondaautomotiveparts?

    Yeah Baron, you're probably right.
    This was just kind of an unexpected...well, untimely project, so I really need to control cost as much as possible.
    Tried hondapartscheap, they're within about $1 of hondaautomotiveparts.
    ...feckin' shipping/handling is always a rip-off either way.

    I heard from a friend that the front stock USDM rebar will fit with the JDM 04-05 bumper. Can anyone confirm this?

    He/she/it said that the 02-03 JDM bumpers are smaller than the 04-05 JDM bumpers...thought they were the same size?

    Thanks

    punch your friend in the face for talking out his ass...

    you still need the low profile type r rebar from everything ive come to understand...does your friend even have an ep or the 04/05 bumpers?

    if its never been removed it can be sticky, if you have a rubber mallet give it a thump, or fold up some cloth and thump it softly, it should come off the manifold...you should be able to remove the intake manifold without removing the TB though iirc...maybe just remove the whole shebang

    thanks, i had thought about removing the intake manifold without removing the TB but i noticed that there's 1 bolt that i can't get to without removing the TB. it's the bottom right bolt.
