Re: idler pulley change? (delsol8694)
1.) support the motor with a jack, remove driver's side motor mount.
2.) remove driver's side fender well lining and strut (if you want to: the more you remove, the easier it will be to access the side of the engine).
3.) undo the accessory belts.
4.) remove enough of the plastic crap (timing cover, etc.) that you can get to the idler.
5.) figure out a way to keep the engine from rotating (it may or may not when you're trying to get the idler off).
6.) get a power tool on that bastard and get it the hell off.
Now, it's difficult to do anything to the timing system on a Honda without having to reset it afterwards. I'm not sure if you can do the idler without rechecking (at least), but I guess if you're uber careful it could work. After that, just put it all back together, retime it and go.
