You'll have to tighten up the nut that the lever turns and maybe put a drop of Contact cement on it so it won't need fixing for another 12 years. The nut came with white paint on it from the factory. Contact cement is easier to work with. My '97 CR-V had the same problem. Lever would fall down. 'Curly' |

Removing the covers is explained. http://www.hondasuv.com/pdf/crv/firs...ritysystem.pdf On your Accord (and most Hondas of that era) there's a long bolt that goes thru the hinge point of the steering column. The big adjustment lever you're talking about has the 'nut' welded on it. You need to go to the other end of the bolt and tighten it up. About 1/2 turn will probably snug it up. You'll see it has white paint on it as a LOCK. Use contact cement or paint to re-lock it when you're done. The Chilton's manual for your Accord would be a good investment, and very interesting reading too. 'Curly' |

Well, the trip to the library and all your help made it a breeze...I
had all the screws out of the housing, but it was a bit stubborn when I had to pull the clips apart..but it came apart perfectly...and after inspecting it, I found the exact bolt you were referring too...the bolt did have white paint on it and all it required was about a quarter turn counter-clockwise (I think its reverse threading)....and that snugged ot right up...cake thanks for the help..
