Jacking & Hoisting: Hoist
WARNING:
When removing heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare tire or tailgate, vehicle center of gravity may change and cause vehicle to tip forward on hoist.
- On all models except Accord, when removing heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare tire or tailgate, place additional weight in trunk of vehicle before hoisting. Placing front wheel/tire assembly in cargo area can assist with weight distribution. On Accord, when removing heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank or spare tire, place tall safety stands under front of vehicle after hoisting.
- Place lift blocks on reinforced support points of side body panels (between front and rear wheels). See Figure . These are same points as used with manufacturer-supplied jack. Lift hoist a few inches and rock vehicle to ensure vehicle is firmly supported. Completely lift vehicle and check for proper vehicle support.
