This helped me out a ton doing this job on an 07 RDX, which is a much bigger pain in the butt to get to the point where you can swap the part. Had to remove battery, battery box, battery tray (hardest part) radiator fans and air intake to get the battery tray out. Also had to remove the wheel and the inner fender liner. Where this video helped me the most was the simple approach I was too tired to think of by the time I got to the linkage and stuff. I could not get the tab to bend out of the way for the linkage nut, which is usually no problem with a hammer and screwdriver or something. And I also didn't realize I didn't have to take the pivot off the link. Never would have thought to throw a 12mm on that nut and just see if the tab would move like that. Thank you.

Thank you, sir. This worked for my 2008 RL. Only difference is that I had to take the wheel off to get to the two bottom bolts of the battery tray bracket holding it on the frame. They must have added that in the later models. I also forgot to put it into neutral before starting, but there was a park line marked on the old one. I just matched that up. Then I did have to shift it with the ignition off and for those that don't know there is a little plastic cover to the left of the shifter. If you pop that off and push a screwdriver down the hole you can move the shifter. Saw that in another video before I found this one. Saved some $$$ and sweated my ass off in Florida heat for some DIY satisfaction. Thanks again!
