Don't ever try to slowly remove a tight nut or bolt. A quick, sharp application of force will be much more productive. also, letting the liquid wrench soak overnight should help. Reapply before going to bed.

The nuts on the exhaust manifold will not be nearly as bad. Just really hard to get to.

Also, using another wrench on the end of a wrench can act as a cheater bar, giving you more torque.

hm, ok, I figured with sharp force i'd be more likely to snap the bolt (instead of the wrench ), thank you for correcting me

Yea, i'll reapply it before normal people go to bed. I am like the girl in The Ring though, I never sleep.

Yea, I was looking at xviper's instructions, it's gonna be tight, i've got big hands.

More torque? Why didn't Honda think of this?!

Thanks for your help/input, Skip! I'll let you know tomorrow how it all works out.

See, Chad... I told you.
It's definitely a tough move to make, but I think the overall benefits that I'll reap later in life will make the decision it well worth it!
