Hi Greg;

I had the same situation on my daughters 90 Accord earlier this year. I was using a 1/2" drive breaker bar, 24" long, and was successful in breaking it loose on the passenger side, but the driver's side didn't cooperate. I added a pipe to the breaker bar and ended up breaking it.

I also wondered if it had left-hand threads, so I spoke with a Honda mechanic. He confirmed they both were regular, right-hand threads.

I borrowed some 3/4" drive tools from work, and that did the trick. It was just over-torqued.

If you have access so 3/4" tools, try them. Otherwise, be careful, and be prepared for your 1/2" tools to break...don't get hurt.

Using an impact tool would probably work, too. Although I've never tried.

When you reinstall them, the proper torque is 180 ft-lbs.

Good luck...
Mike
