I will probably have to get underneath it and try to see how the bolts come out. With back problems this is a task I was trying to avoid. Hoped someone that knew Hondas could point me to a way to do it without getting under the car. Once again thanks for the help.

Stethoscope is nice too. Handiest thing I own is a telescopic magnet. It has saved me several times. Seems like every time I drop something it lands in a hard to get place.
