Thanks DJ. Have the diagram and am still unable to figure out where to place the jack. Actual photo would be nice.djay said:Hope this helps!!
Wish I had seen your post before trading my $25 jack for a $75 jack (the former couldn't raise my CR-V to get tire off the ground). Excellent idea with the hockey puck.cnn said:I wrote a DIY using Hockey Puck here ha!

You're going to have to bend over and take a look. The lift points are reinforced and pretty obvious but you gotta bend over and take a peek.nirvana_1959 said:Thanks DJ. Have the diagram and am still unable to figure out where to place the jack. Actual photo would be nice.
I did. That's how I guessed jack points on the CR-V. Unable to figure out in the Ody however :-(.dvpatel said:You're going to have to bend over and take a look. The lift points are reinforced and pretty obvious but you gotta bend over and take a peek.![]()
That's interesting, I bent down to look at the underside of the front of my 08 and the tow hook is staring right at me. I didn't check the back because it's backed up to my garage door. Of course the side ones are easily visible.nirvana_1959 said:I did. That's how I guessed jack points on the CR-V. Unable to figure out in the Ody however :-(.

Have you ever changed a tire before, just curious?nirvana_1959 said:Thanks CNN for your elaborate answer.
Question on the jackpoint picture: Is the point on the edge (rocker panel) ?
Used to pay $36+taxes on each vehicle to change tires twice a year to get winter tires on and off. Not to mention the wait time at the dealership. Approaching retirement. Thought I will pick some "skills" that will help me pass time as well as save me some money. Answer to your question is "No". Have been a AAA guy all my life :-(.cnn said:Have you ever changed a tire before, just curious?
As long as you place the floor jack centered on the rocker panel's jack point, you will be fine. See pic:

Got a Greatneck wrench. Thanks.chan_man said:Make sure you buy yourself a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts after a change, to reduce the risk of warped rotors...
