Clearance to on the alternator. More than enough room to remove the lower can to drain and clean.

These two items made me happier than they should. Auto Zone was the only parts store open and nearby, so I purchased needle nose pliers from them. The clamp at the PCV valve is a breeze with these long angled pliers. You will feel like a hero if you own a set. I am also an addict to looking as factory as I can so I purchased two packs of spring clamps. I had to get two packs because there are only two 3/8" clamps in each package.

I noticed a thick aluminum flange on the passenger side of the engine, just above the alternator. This flange already has a hole in it that is tapped with nothing installed in it. I think the hole is M6x1.00mm or M5x0.8mm. The little bracket is from the aisle with all the gate hinges and locks at Menard's (home improvement store) The wires going under the bracket are now going over the bracket. I gave a very slight bend to the wires at their crimps. You'll see in later pictures.

Stuff that fell out onto my counter as I improved the fit and finish.

Here is the large shaving that needed removed. You can also see the small burrs / shavings in the small holes.

Look closely into the holes and you will see burs left behind and ready to easily break off. I used a hex wrench and wobbled it around in each hole and the excess pieces all came off. I then ran a rag around each side to check for more pieces sticking out.

This little removable baffle had a shaving left all the way around the threads where it comes apart. It popped off easily and I made sure it didn't leave a sharp edge.

These go together like Lego's and there should not be wire showing. They fit so tightly that there is no way this was caused by me or the so-called Honda mechanic. Just fuel on the fire as I feel let down.

This explains the use of washers. I know I'm still recommending the 45mm bolts the OEM uses, even though this looks like this. There is nothing below the female threads so the bolts should work. Maybe there is paint, primer, or maybe they are protruding head nuts that are supposed to act as lock nuts. Too many assumptions.

Oddly half way up the threads there is a sealant and just past that is thread damage. I'm speechless over this entire situation.

A professional would simply lay a rag there before repeated prying on the mount. :(

Electrical tape to the best of my ability. Not sure as to its future...

Picture I took as I noticed a little damage and stood there shocked as I noticed no wire loom and a terrible electrical tape job.

Giving this a much closer inspection since it appears this harness has been spun around a power tool and likely had the loom ripped off of it. Notice the open wires showing.

This is without doing anymore than disconnecting the socket connector.

A picture from the back. Actually taken before I realized I was going to have to cut on the insulators like I mentioned in the beginning.

Looking from the rear, I mounted the fittings in the bumper. This is surprisingly far froward and protected by the hitch. I ran dual air lines because of what I've read about single line systems and extreme body roll. You don't want to push air out of one side and into the high-side, thus pushing you over even more.

You can barely see the air lines run past the coil. I'll get a better photo an replace this one.
