      +2 on dreamer2344. I purchased a used 2001 honda accord 32000 miles in 2004. Thus, far the vehicle has been immensely reliable; however, with that said, the only major hiccup I’ve had is with the transmission. The original transmission failed at approximately 60000 miles. Honda agreed to replace it with a remanufactured one at no cost of my own. This remanufactured transmission failed at approximately 120000 miles. This time, honda did NOT agree to replace it. I paid $3000 for a replacement NEW transmission from a 3rd party manufacturer. Currently, I have roughly 188000 miles without any major issues.

          Yes I got the new ones in. After removing that metal ring in Exhibit H, I was able to insert the new ones into the spark plug tube seal housing. Although I was able to insert the new ones in by hand, I also used a rubber mullet to seat them in tightly. Also, I drenched them in WD40 for a few minutes before attempting to seat them into the housing.

              Thank you. I finally got them out. I saturated them with WD40 prior to using a medium sized flat head screw driver and a hammer to gently pry them out. See Exhibit H below.

                  Thank you for your prompt reply. Although I’d like to think I’m mechanically inclined, sadly the truth is I’m really “UN-inclined” in regards to most things mechanical; Hence, could you please explain what a “drift” is? Is it a tool?
