Tech/How to guides

**wynode** · 07-09-2003 05:10 PM

Im thinking of putting together some tech/how to guides to help people out / give info.

My next oil change or service I'll make sure to take some pics and do a write up.

If you have anything you would like to contribute, please feel free to post it in this forum as a NEW THREAD with the title (see below) and I'll link it in the stickies (eventually it will be on the main OzHonda site.

Things i'm thinking of:

1. Changing your oil
2. Changing your brake pads
3. Change fuel filter
4. Change oil filter
5. Remove resonator
6. Flush brake fluid line
7. Flush clutch fluid
8. Flush radiator.

ETC. Maybe even focus on ones more Honda related.

Opinions?

Be aware that doing how to's could be a litigation waiting to happen

That has been on my mind. I was planning on putting in disclaimers etc. What do you reckon?

I'd steer clear of articles in regards to brakes but oil changes and stuff should be OK

There's nothing wrong with posting tech articles on stuff like that as long as there is a disclaimer. It's all common sense anyway, if you aren't sure on how to change brakes even with a tech article, you don't do it!

anything beyond your own mechanical abilities should be performed by a licenced and reputable mechanic

i.e: brake services.....

besides...you can machine your discs at home anyways (which you should do when you change pads)

You should only machine discs when they develop ridges or become lipped along the edges, otherwise you will end up with thin discs before you know it and will have to pay out the a$$ for new discs from Honda...

Only machine discs if you have to!
