Alexis Ostapenko
Please help!
What to do? I cannot get off the rear wheel drum
on my trusty '78 Honda Civic (just 100,305 M on it)
to check the brake shoes. The nut is off, and I've

prying with a screw driver between...

Any more ideas about the 2008 Accord? by

2008 accord will have a slightly longer body and may have considerable hp
improvement. I am reading 175-205 for the 4 cyl and 270-280 for the 6 cyl.
Maybe more luxury?? I'd like to get more viable information about the...
