1/4" drive 10mm socket, long extension. Thats how ive done mine over the
years. Bring it over and you can use my tools.

its inside the green cap. Unbolt the tranny mount, allow the tranny to
hang enough to allow the creen cap to be accessable thru the driver side
wheel well.
(Buy a new cap first. If you dont get one, there is Vee Parts down the
street from me. Im sure they have a few in stock.)
Pry off the cap (read, destroy the cap most of the time.) and everything
is right there. You gotta take off a few other things but its all right
there. Its easy to do actually. Im shocked you didnt do this before the
build up?

Did you use a new pushrod? 

I spent the last 2 days changing the clutch on a 2.0L Prelude so my boss
gave me the day off to recover from all the bad Honda vibes I picked up
off the car. Im home all day if you want to come over and do those fixes.
I think you owe me "kash"  too, dont you? :) J/K.
lemme know.
