All the write ups I found about the tensioner said you have to unbolt the PS mount and jack up the engine but I didn't have to.  All you have to do is crack the bolt and unthread it all the way.  Then rotate the tensioner, slide out the bolt and your homefree.

@Milan- looks like mine right now.

Kinda pissed that UPS fucked me over and the coils that they said were on time all day have now been pushed back to tomorrow... so she sits on jackstands in the driveway over night.  If anybody steals it I won't even be mad... just impressed.  The car has no wheels or suspension. Hahaha

^^ Nice way to prepare though! Have everything off the car and ready to go so the second they do arrive, BOOM! Coilover install *raises hands up and down* whoo! whoo! haha I would love to do that for when my coilovers arrive any day now, but she's my DD and I need her 6 days a week...

So tell me, what's the trick to getting these Accord coupes on 4x stands? I have a heavy duty floor jack, and raised the rear up by the tow hook as far as the jack would go (it was literally almost straight up and down) but the two rear jacking points were still not high enough to slide the stands under...  :Smiley They aren't huge/tall jack stands, look about the same size as milan's in that pic.

I have a pretty long jack from Costco.  It weighs (literally) 100lbs, but it is low profile.  When I was at Timmy's doing the RL calipers, I could not jack the rear high enough with his Harbor Freight aluminum jack to put jack stands under.

My car has been on jack stands since May.  You guys are doing it wrong by trying to jack it up by the tow hook.  I use the rear sub frame when I raise the rear end.  Speaking of this, I just put some wheels on the back and dropped it down.  I also pressed new bushings in the lower control arms, pressed new wheel bearings in the front knuckles, and got the front end back together.  Now all I need is my lugs to come in so I can get some wheels on the front and get it on wheel dollies so I can move my car over to the middle of the garage.
