It's likely at the front of the block, just to the passenger side of the exhaust manifold. Usually access is tight but is accessible from above.

Just a 3-ft breaker bar will do. But make certain your (correctly-sized) socket is fully seated! You don't want to round-off that bolt.

Your fingers may tingle a bit after the bolt cracks loose.

Accessible from above ? Do you have any pics or a link that would show me its location ? Thanks

I don't, sorry. Do you still have your Owner's Manual? If not, you can spend $10 at

to get the necessary pages. Poor help, I know, but it's all I've got. On further checking of the documentation I /do/ have, I see that much older Accords had their block drain to the driver's side of the oil filter, at the REAR of the block.

Thanks to both of you. I can't see doing it from the top.
