Battery Question - Honda Prelude Forum

GP5 · 05-22-2002, 09:55 AM

So I am picking up a new battery today. What is the correct order for disconnecting it? Positive then negative, or the other way around? Sorry for the dumb question, I haven't messed with batteries for a while.

either way. it doesn't matter.

I have 5th gen, eucalyptus green. I might pick it up tonight after class.

MikeRenz · 05-22-2002, 10:35 AM

there are only 2 green 5th gens that i've seen around, so i've prolly seen yours before. Do you want help with it?

I should be ok thanks. of the few tools I have here I think I have what I need. But, I am thinking about doing my plugs too. Do you a spark plug socket? If you do and would help me with that, that would be great.

if you are going to give your input and call someone out like they're stupid....give an explanation.

If you are basing your "knowledge" on what your dad told you to do, and have no information to back it up....keep it to yourself.
