Honda Repair: power steeeing hose hp replacement, cutouts, stupid question


Question
okay, stupid question but here it is. I have to replace the hp PS hose on my 89 accord. It looks simple enough for a 41 yr old with high school shop background. my question is, where do I jack up the vehicle and what jack is the safest to work underneath it with?

Answer
Usually, when I need to do engine work and I have to jack up the car I jack it up using the center support that goes right under the center of the engine. Be very careful as it can slip off. If you want to do is more safely you can use the spots under the front of the doors under the car. This location is where the pinch weld is and there are usually small cutouts and you put the jack between the cutouts. You can also check your owners manual. It will show you as well.
