When I did the CRX's and the Civic's they wouldn't yield to the
airgun. This is the job that broke a few breakers and sockets that I
posted a while back.
I don't recall it being left-hand. Purely for amusement, I checked my
Haynes manual that I never usually check (because it sucks) and it doesn't
mention it. Which, with Haynes, means absolutely nothing... ;-)
Don't heat it. Chock the wheels if the car moves in gear. Hammer the snot
out of it. Taking it to the dealer would be an option if the belt isn't
broken. On the non-Si (thank GOD!), the belt broke as I was turning into
the driveway - literally. I was the first home so I just coasted up to the
garage door, got out, popped the door, pushed the car in, closed the door,
went into the house and called up my parts guy...
