So, I recently purchased a 2008 Honda element. It's well cared for and runs great, but I'm the kind of guy who wants to be prepared in case anything needs taking care of. I've searched a few manuals, notably Haynes and Chilton, but neither of them have what I'm looking for. Haynes just plain doesn't have anything, and Chilton only claimed to have some sort of online reference for a monthly fee. I'm looking for a paperback repair manual like the ones my father kept in his garage that I can pick up and hold in my hand. Something that has the full tear down rebuild instructions and specifications. Google has failed me in this regard. Hopefully someone here knows more. I appreciate any help that you can give me.

 

Bump!
Hopefully the fact that no one has replied is because no one knows. I'm really in a pickle here. If the answer is "there isn't one" then please let me know.

 

Search for this item on ebay
"2007 2008 09 10 Honda Element Factory Service Manual Shop Repair Dealership oem"

I just found it there. They are asking $60 plus $8 shipping.

Hope this helps.

 

I wonder if the manual has anything in it about removing and replacing the left front lower ball joint! Also, is there a special tool to use to do the job? I need help badly!!!
