B. Remove the factory engine air filter enclosure
cover.
C. Disconnect the crankcase ventilation tube and
the air pump inlet hose attached to the rubber
inlet duct leading to the throttle body.
D. Remove the vacuum/coolant tubing junction from
the vehicle. Tag and label the vacuum hoses for
ease of reassembly in later steps. (See
Figs
1-a,1-b,1-c.
)
E. Detach the pressure solenoid from the plastic air
filter enclosure (single phillips head screw). (See
Fig. 1-b.
)
F. Separate the rubber vacuum hoses and wiring
from the air filter enclosure.
G. Remove the rubber inlet duct from the throttle
body and the air filter.
H. Remove the air filter and enclosure from the
vehicle.

canister to the backside of the front crossmember
(located in front of the engine). Set aside for
reinstallation at a later time.
J. Remove the accessory belt and crank damper
pulley from the engine. Removal of the crank
damper pulley bolt may require Honda sourced
tools (07JAB-001020A handle and 07JAA-
001020A damper socket). Set aside the damper
screw for reinstallation at a later time.
K. Remove the factory idler (smooth) pulley and
hardware and set aside temporarily. (See
Fig.
1-d.
)
L. Remove the two factory M8 x 1.25 screws that
attach the front corner of the cylinder head to the
engine front cover (see
Fig. 1-e
).
M. Disconnect the wiring from the VTEC solenoid
assembly. Remove the three screws attaching
the solenoid assembly to the side of the cylinder
head. (See
Figs. 1-f,1-g.
) Set the VTEC solenoid
assembly aside for mounting in a later step.
Make sure that the o-ring sealing gasket does not
get lost or damaged, because it will be re-used in
a later step.
