You worked at Sears a LONG time ago or you store was not following Sears corp.'s rules. I've worked for Sears for 6 years in automotive and have read the memos from Chicago. Sears is not allow to install tires on my cars because the tire guide books in the stores only go to +2 sizing and both of my cars are +3. They will not do any suspension work or brake work because it is not stock. :madfawk: Sears sucks (In My Own Opinion of course)!!! My friend was fired for pulling the front of his Firebird into the garage to get a headlight to pop up, when it was pouring rain while off the clock.
Just buy a manual, a floor jack and some jack stands and then all you need is a 14mm, a 17mm socket/wrench and rent a spring compressor.
You forgot the 12mm for the front upper strut mounts little bolts. Actual I don't know the year or trim of accord in question, but I know mine has 4 12mm bolts up there. The allen tools that fit the top of the struts makes it a lot easier too, unless you have phnematic tools.
