- Magnet screwdriver or retriever (If you are clumsy & lose the bolts inside the gate, otherwise be careful)
Instructions
Honda PDF of full instructions [attached at bottom], they are detailed and good.

Installation Video Example 2 From @Toolferone:
General info Video, Recoding a Honda Keylock:
Notes/Tips/Preparation:
- Kit includes 2 new, independent keys, before installing decide optionally to have your new lock cylinder recoded by a locksmith to match current keys [Approx. $25~$65]
- The lock you will be installing is a "manual only" lock, not actuated by electric locks
- Installation is intermediate-easy, takes about 1 hr. If you work at a slower pace & follow along with a video
- Mistakes I made:
- I have a tendency to over-tighten... do not over-tighten on these (except maybe the screws holding the camera if needed. The threads everywhere are aluminum and will strip pretty easy if you try to "crank em". The instructions say only 6lbs to 7lbs of torque. So don't overdo it.
- The locksmith I used to recode the lock made a very simple error putting the latch-post (where the rod connects) on 180 degrees wrong, I could not figure out why I couldn't get the handle installed correctly and it was an easy fix. just need to remove the retaining-clip (spring clip washer) and rotate the latch 180 degrees and squeeze the clip back on (pic below).
- I didn't trust the instructions. I was an early Ridgeline owner and fought with instructions on the bed cover, replacement bumper at one time, and some other things. So, when I thought the instructions were starting to get strange, I watched the video instead to see how the others did it. But this time Honda made the instructions correct and the steps are accurate. They even indicate the pounds of torque for the screws. They didn't indicate any of the clips by color, but you can still figure it out. (Hint: White Clips are for new rods, one Purple clip replaces the existing long-neck cable clip, and you will detach the yellow rod clip momentarily)
- Some other folks reported breaking the "NEW" 5mm Purple Rod Clip when installing, it cannot be ordered separately (the orig-old Purple Clip is too weak and will break if used)
- The new camera screw holes are not tapped very well on some units and are extremely tough to tighten enough to secure the camera, they may need wax, graphite or oil. Mine was just fine though.
- If you discover mysterious washers laying around, they were jarred out of the gate top rail-cap when removed (Middle Bottom) from @daktruckie99
