timing belt change
I'd like to change the timing belt on a friend's 96 civic cx.
I have the hayes manual for the civics, and the instructions are pretty clear... but i'd just like to make sure with some ppl here : What are the things I must absolutely remove/disassemble to get to the timing belt? I just dont want to go around unscrewing everything that gets in my way, and then making a mistake on the reassembly. Any general advice on this procedure is appreciated, thx. Yuri |

This allows the lower timing belt cover to get around the torsion bar thingy (at least it sure helps on an Odyssey). Coat the pulley bolt with oil, not LockTite when re-assembling.(and it's a normal thread, not left-handed). You'll probably want to buy a 17 mm deep socket ahead of time for the motor mount. You can build your own crankshaft pulley tool if you have a buddy who's a welder. If it's a manual transmission (or you have an impact tool) it may not be necessary. Punch holes in a cardboard box and stick the bolts thru the holes.. draw diagrams on the box if it helps.
