Yeah, if you leave it out or pour it on the ground they will probably get into it.

There should be a drain on the block somewhere. For hondas its on the front of the block just left of the exhaust manifold. You'll need a breaker bar.
Do you really need a breaker bar, can't use a torque'd torque wrench? 1/2" or 3/8" for the honda blocks?

Do not use a torque wrench as a breaker bar. You will break it... and there's usually not a warranty on them.

yeah, I used my torque wrench once or twice for that and then RJ saved me... buy a breaker bar- mine was about $17 at a NAPA and it doesn't matter what brand you get bc its just a piece of metal. oh and be careful with it... it has a tendency to snap things :evil:

I was reading up on how to change the coolant and saw there is a "T Fitting" that goes on the end of a garden hose that attaches to the hoses for the radiator (so you can actually put pressure into the system and flush it out). The reason I'm asking this is bc I was wondering if doing this would save me from draining the block. In looking where the drain bolts are located, they would prob be a pain in the ass to remove. If this garden hose thing is just a reason to spend more money at Advance, then screw it and I'll drain the block...

The problem with the flush is you're still going to have a bunch of water left in the block when you're done.
Pick up the coolant from the dealer also - the Honda Genuine Type II (long life) coolant, its pre-mixed (dont add water).
Dont forget to bleed the system after re-filling, otherwise j00r shit will run t00 h0t.

Yep. I'm just now getting around to pulling the manifold/turbo and replacing that bolt I broke with your bar.

You need to use a bit of finesse when removing exhaust bolts - dont just torque on them hard because they will snap.
Use a wrench with some decent leverage and *tap* the bolt loose (small hammer works too), rather than just yank it so that you get 100 ft-llbs.

I hate exhaust bolts more than anything
