I'm looking for images of where exactly the jacking points are for the 7th gen Accord. I have searched and found a few threads bit nothing with decent photos. I don't have an owners manual so can't reference that.

I'm looking to change the rear discs and pads so need to know where exactly to place the axle stands as soon as I have the car jacked up. Got the front pads and discs done the other day so I'm on a roll and can't stop now ;) Thanks.
 
The rear jacking point is the tow rope bracket.

Once it's up the two rectangles of metal protruding down from the sills just in front of the back wheel rest on the axle stands.
 
There were lots of pics of jacking points but are missing.
Without pics there are front and back and your normal x2 on each side of your car.
Sorry but cant find any photos at this time but will try and find something.

I always put some sponge or rags between the cups of my stands and the car chassis.

Enjoy. :D

Is there a section of the website where all these useful pictures could be put in one easy to find place?
 
It is being worked on. For now I am storing them on my Picassa account; but for various reasons I am only uploading them as needed.
 
I took several photos while working on the car over the weekend, just so others can see where the rear jacking point is as well as the location for axle stands.

Edit: Should probably mention that the location of the axle stands in the photos are also used as jacking points.









 
Some good photos K thanks for sharing. Its a lot clearer to see with proper photos.
 
I bought a hydraulic jack and axle stands yesterday, went to jack the car up this morning to measure my anti roll bar diameters and from the rear, the hydraulic jack doesn't lift high enough to actually get the wheels off the floor <_< . I imagine that's why kkelly77 is using a lump of wood between his jack and jackpoint. Anyone else done this? I started but then lost my nerve when I heard the wood splitting a bit :unsure: .

Alternatively I can lift high enough from the side jacking point, but then I don't know where to put the axle stands exactly as I'm obviously using the jacking point on the pinch rail. Anyone got any pointers?

I had this on my 8th Gen Steve as well :( Time to get a bigger trolley jack i think :)
 
I get the same shortness when lifting the rear of my tourer - get a stronger block of wood!
 
But seriously I can jack it high enough from the side jacking point. So once up, is there anywhere suitable to pop the stands on in the rear somewhere, or should I really go only for a rear jack with the stands fitted on the side jacking points?

Steve the best and safest way i think is to get a piece of 8"x6" timber and put the trolley jack on top.
Or get a higher Jack last month Holfords were selling these half price.

Just had exactly the same issue when I've been swapping over my wheels with snow tyres for the ones with summer tyres - ended up having to use the jack that comes with the car rather than the trolley jack. Bit of a pain really.

Did you have a go with a stronger bit of wood or did you get a trolley jack that lifts higher?
 
This should be stickied, I never at all knew that that was a jacking point option :eek:

Errr... how have you been jacking the car up then?
 
Well in terms of the central points I've never known they were there, the sill jacking points were the only ones I was aware of.... :rolleyes:
 
I've been using the front central point with my trolley jack ever since I saw a tyre place do it.

I agree this ought to be pinned.

Ok, and how did you get the stands under the sills? I'm being bold now, I know :lol:
 
I didn't, whenever I've used axle stands, I've used the subframe to hold things up, not ideal, but I've never had to spend that long under the car, thankfully ;)
 
if you're not using a trolley jack in the middle, you need to read the other thread then :lol:

I found this out over the weekend when I wanted to lift the rear of the car. I use a sheet of plywood to put the trolley jack on and the wheels didn't even get off the ground, plus I have a big jack. Used a block of 3x2 and they barely got off the ground so I had to use 2 blocks, which I was not happy about. I'll have to find some thick timber to place the jack on instead and raise it that way - why did Honda put the jacking point so high up!! :rolleyes:
 
What kind of jack do you have?

I jack on the rear hook with an Arcan 1.8ton just on plywood (only to protect the jack and road surface), I don't need blocks above.

Have you maybe got air in the jack hydraulics because mine does this sometimes and it won't lift the car and if you didn't know better you would ***ume that the jack had reached its maximum lifting height. I need to purge it for it to lift to the required height.
