Check your owners manual.

I am guessing, but if it is like my other Hondas and TSX, it was behind front tire and in front of rear tire, you will see flat spots on the frame where the jack meets the frame.

 

Thank you TSTURBO.
I tried to use my Craftman 2.5 ton floor jack (previously bought for my car) and it feels very hard jacking up my MDX and I stopped immediately. I don't know is this the right jack for the X. I don't feel it is safe to use it for my X. What is the right floor jack for this type of SUV? Also I bought this 3-ton jack stand from Advance Auto Parts: Buy Torin Big Red™ 3-Ton Jack Stands T43002 at Advance Auto Parts. Is this jack stand good enough?

I am look to buy this floor jack http://www.harborfreight.com/rapid-pump-3-ton-heavy-duty-floor-jack-68048.html

Thanks

Most likely MDX is much heavier than your "car" and that's why it's more difficult to jack it up with a 2.5ton jack. I felt the same way when I jacked it using my 2.5ton (comparing to jacking up to a corolla, let's say).

 

Those jack stands and that jack will work fine. Just remember that the "rapid pump" thing means that you are pushing harder to raise it quicker.

Which 2 1/2 ton jack do you already have?

 

I just bought these from Harbor Freight:

For jacking up the car:
Rapid Pump® 2.5 Ton Heavy Duty Floor Jack

For Taking the wheels off:
1/2" Drive 18" Ratcheting Breaker Bar

And 3/8" & 1/2" torque wrenches:
1/2" Torque Wrench
Does this 1/2" torque is good enough torquing the wheels back on?

3/8" Drive Click Stop Torque Wrench


I can't believe Harbor Freight has quality automotive tools at a very cheap price!

 

The "quality" part is debatable depending on what you are buying there and how you intend to use it. That said, you should be good to go with all of those tools. Just be carefully using the torque wrench for low torque things like the oil pan plug. The accuracy is really not there down low, but for lug nuts they will work great. Let us know if you like the ratcheting breaker bar, I have been kicking that one around for a while.

 

Quick question. What is the size of the socket for the lug nut? Harbor Freight have 22mm 1/2 inch socket on sale for $1 to $1.50

Search results for: '22mm 1/2 socket'

Which one should I get? The long or the short?

 

eh, double check on that size... long is better than short for lug nuts; you can space the torque wrench away from your Al. rim and wheel well..
