Why does nobody tell you about the 10mm bolt hiding behind the starter on a 1998 Civic
Picked up a 1998 Civic coupe for $700 in Riverside back in March, and the guy swore it just needed a battery. Turned out the starter was shot, so I crawled under it in my driveway last Saturday with a socket set and a headlamp, and there's this one 10mm bolt tucked behind the block where you can barely get a wrench on it. Took me about 40 minutes of scraped knuckles and a few choice words before it finally let go. Now the car cranks, but it's throwing a code for the knock sensor, which I hear is another fun one to reach. For anyone who's done this job on an older Civic, is it easier from the top or should I just drop the whole manifold and stop fighting it? Your mileage may vary, but I'm not doing that bolt blind again.

Knock sensor on a D16 is way easier from the top, just reach behind the intake.
