94 Honda Accord LX 4 cylinder with 5 speed manual transmission

I want to know how to properly raise this car using a hydrallic jack and place it onto jack stands placed under the jack pins under the doors of the car

I looked at an online version of the shop manual on the proper place to use hydrallic floor jack on my 94 Honda Accord

It is not clear what they are saying, but it indicates what you are telling me about jacking the car using the jacking bracket (tow hooks)

My question is how do you keep the hydrallic jack with a cup top from
slipping off these hooks when you jack up the car???

Also how do you prevent the hook from being bent when using the hydrallic jack and lifting the car by jacking it up at the front or rear hook???

 

The hooks are very strong, they won't bend unless they've been severely damaged already. Most jacks have a cup that will cradle the tow hook with raised areas that can be positioned if the hook is wider than usual and will keep it from sliding forward and back, gravity will do the rest! There's going to be a few thousand pounds pushing down on the jack, so it's not going to pop out


My jack. You can see how it is cupped and has 4 pegs. That part can rotate to position correctly on the tow hook. Not the best picture but it's the only one I could find on my jack and it's better than most online ones I found!

Thanks for your input

Anyone else with experiences jacking up Honda Accord at the tow hooks please share them with me

 

Is this this tow hook that is in the front center of the car? The hook I am talking about is just behind the plastic splash shield. I used that hook to jack up the car, then was able to properly place both jack stands on my 95 accord.

 

I don't know 1994 exactly, but Honda has done it like this for a long time...

Sorry... Redbull corrected me so I'll get rid of the incorrect information.

6th-gen (98-02) and several Integra & Civic also used the flat part of the front crossbeam, so I guess there's a mixture over the years.

 

On the 94-97 (5th gen Accords), the tow hooks are the center jacking points.

The steel cross-beam in the front with the arrow pointing to the flat part are on the 7th gen Accords and the current 8th gen Accord.

 

I recently raised the front of Honda Accord to change the transmission oil
using this method of using floor jack and the front tow hook area.

The cup on my floor jack fit around this area, so weight was not directly on the hook.

This method seemed to work well, raised Honda easily and able to put jack stands under jack pins below front doors. I left the floor jack under the front tow hook, and put bricks behind rear wheels, and had emergency brake on.

Then I did my work under Honda, raised car again, removed jack stands, and then lowered Honda to the ground.

Seemed like less strain on the Honda than raising at crossbeam.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

 

I like to use my HR 8000# direct lift 2 post lift in my 24X24 shop a good cup of coffee and a good smoke but then again I am a jurk!!!

 

Nothing wrong with that. I would too.
