Hi guys, I am trying to remove my coils so that I can inspect my spark plugs on my 2006 Ridgeline. When trying to remove the left front coil, it hits the radiator fan assembly making it impossible to remove without removing the entire fan assembly. So, I started to remove the fan assembly, which looked fairly easy, until I see that there is a bolt at the bottom of the assembly that needs to be removed. The only way that I can see to get to that bolt is to remove the lower splash guard. Am I missing something here? Does anyone have a shortcut? I can not believe Honda would make a design like this. Thanks for your help.

 

I haven't done one in a while but I think I just remove the top radiator mounts and pull the radiator towards the front of the truck a bit. The coil should have room to pull out.
