John,
I had that suggestion from several people at the time. The problem was that
the Accord engine turns "backwards", and it would have only tightened (actually
I don't think that would have been possible) the bolt. Otherwise I would have
tried it.
But I do have that idea filed away for other cases...
Thanks,
Tim Mullen
