:-) Don't worry about the rear end.
It fell off my Honda too, and it still drives fine :-)

Yep, and thats the case around here. even on the US highways, its
patchy at best. i even had problems in the UK, on the motoreways, with
a cellphone going flat (and when the alternator goes, doesn't matter
if you have a car charger either) - was stuck in the country overnight
, got to -6C that night too.

Well, in the original parable it was an individual from Samaria (or maybe
somebody who sold Samarium... I was never sure). Apparently Samaritans had
an unsavory reputation and the parable had largely an anti-prejudice theme.
Obviously, Bible scholarship is not a strong point for me!

There are a few sizes, depending on the beefiness of the hardware. 10 mm is
very popular for light stuff, while 12, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 19 mm are
progressively heavier. 11, 16 and 18 mm are really rare. The 17 mm and
especially the 19 mm are for serious stuff, so the 10-15 except 11 will fit
95% of the roadside needs. Honda is also enamored of 10 mm 12 point
hardware, but mainly deeper inside things (like holding steering knuckles
onto hubs... grr!).

I wanted my wife to carry these basic tools but she insist that a cell
phone works just as well. Doesn't make sense when there are
regions where cell phone receptions don't work

Wow, people a really nice 27 years ago. My parents Cutlass's fuel pump cuts
out in Lancaster at 3AM in 1998. The car was towed to a downtown repair center.
My parents spoke little English and the drifters in the streets were eying them.
Miraculously, a good Samaritan, of their age, gave them a ride to his place to
have tea and make a phone call. There is a God today, but "don't count on it." I'll let
my parents stick with their 270K-mi Honda for now which never cuts out on them.
I notice the word Samaritan is capitalized. This must've been an actual person. :-)

Once I read in the group that x-mm socket/wrench is the most common in
Hondas. Does someone remember that value? (As in 9mm, 12mm.)

Step one: don't try to walk to the town. As a Zonie for the last 30 years,
I've learned that much. Stay with the car until help comes, one way or
another. Drinking water is more important than a tool box. Shade is more
important than water.
True story.... 27 years ago we were on a family vacation when the timing
belt failed on our Mercury Capri, Sunday morning between Palmdale and
Lancaster in the California high desert... a day's travel from home. I had a
tool box and Chilton's manual. A good samaritan took me to a gas station
where I called around and found a store with a timing belt. Then he took me
there and to our car (thanks eternally, Mr. Horn, wherever you are!) The
engine was non-interference and the crank pulley didn't have to come off to
get the cover off, so we were back on our way a few hours later. There *is*
a God!

My vehicles. "Rite off the bat" I'd have a tool box in my fuckin trunk.
Ask me why the hell would anyone carry a friggen toolbox in ones trunk? Duh, to
prevent stupid shit like this from ever occurring!
Hypothetical question: It's Saturday Morning you have just broke down somewhere
in the Arizona Desert. Road map indicates that there is a town just 2 miles
ahead. Town contains: A restaurant, one motel, a towing facility and an auto
parts store that's open 7 days a week. The Auto parts store sells how-to-books
and rents tools. There is an auto repair facility 50+ miles away that's open 5
days a week and closed on weekends you have no tools, no experience as an auto
mechanic. And you need to be in California 300 miles away by Monday morning!
What do you do next, what's the scenario that follows?

Spare tire stuck.
I just had a flat tire. I get out, open the Civic trunk and find a spare tire, a
jack and a lug wrench. Then I reach inside to grab the spare tire, it's stuck.
Somehow the tire is bolted down with some kind of a rabbit ear nut. No
matter how hard I try to twist it, the rabbit ears will not move.
This was my scenario last night when I had to walk home two miles just
to get a monkey wrench to twist the rabbit ears. If this were your car how
would you do it differently?
Thanks

I always keep a few basic tools, like channel-lock plyers, few
screwdrivers, and a DMM in each of my vehicles. Never know when you'll
need them. these few tools will pack nice and easily in a bag, and can
go wither inside the spare, or under one of the seats. "Be Prepaired"

You only have to flip it over ONCE. And then, LEAVE IT FLIPPED OVER,
valve side up. What could be more simple?

I would've called my road service. I can usually walk 5-10 miles before they
show up, but hey, flats always occur on my rides farther from home than even
that.
I guess I might have tried the lug wrench handle for some leverage, but maybe
you couldn't get it down there far enough.
I bet you though, somewhere deep in the "lubrication points" of your owner's
manual, it would've told you that every year or so (about the same time it
tells you to lube door hinges) to lightly coat the threads of the rod with the
nut with some motor oil to help thwart rusting.

Re: Spare tire stuck.
A little antisieze compound on the threads does wonders. Then find the water
leak that caused the rust of the bolt.
