I know about the location that manual said, but what about the chasiss bar in the rear where the fuel tank sit between them.

Anything solid should be fine

It's an Accord with a fairly sophisticated suspension, not a 1980s F-150 with a solid rear axle. You can't just put weight on anything that looks solid because it might not be what you thought it was. Do what the manual says or you're taking a risk.

Not to be a hardass or anything, but your car weighs over 3000 lbs and you're lifting it into the air to work on the brake calipers, an integral part of what makes the car stop safely. If you aren't willing to follow instructions and don't recognize the importance of fundamental safety when working on a vehicle...and if you have to ask a forum where to jack the car up and then disagree when they say follow the manual...I'm questioning whether it's a good idea for you to be working on the car at all.

Please use your common sense and stay safe. A car in the air is no joke...people have been crushed in the past. If you don't know what you're doing, first learn from someone who does. There's no shame in learning.

Unfortunately, we cannot stop h2pvnus from doing what he wants, no matter how boneheaded it may be.

h2pvnus can either learn from people who know what they're talking about or h2pvnus can learn the hard way.

With that said, I would not follow MM49's advice.

True as I don't know what h2pvnus has in mind. I have seen sub frame(solid) being used and I have done it myself. I should've been more clear I guess.

@h2pvnus

korbas has good points on your safety.....
Oh yeah, you don't have to follow my advice since I probably don't know what I'm talking about, right?

Well said, learning by mistakes gets very costly very quickly, and potentially harmful to both your car and your own safety......
