Repair/Service Manuals
Whats the difference between all the service manual? Helms, Haynes, Chilton?

Helms. That's the one, the Service Manual. I have both the Haynes and the Helm's, and the Haynes only helped more with changing brake shoes for brake drums because it had more detailed pictures and information...the Helm's sucked at this one. But overall, I paid 60 something for my Helm's, and when I changed my timing belt by myself, the cost I saved in labor paid for the book like 5X or something. It's worth it, that thing is like as thick as a bible.

Re: Repair/Service Manuals
Is http://www.helminc.com the only place to buy them at? It costs $75 total on the website. $69 for the manual plus $6 shipping.

you can buy them at helms, or from the dealer. Find out which is cheaper.
Helms could easily charge 250 for the amount of info in there books. Pay the 69. It is a ******* STEAL at that price!

Re: Repair/Service Manuals (AllMotorHB)
here, I usually recommend people to goto the website. Sure, we can mark them up, but not much, and I just feel guilty. Go ahead and order online. When you call and are on hold for 10min all the recording says to do is buy online anyways.
Oh, and make sure you are getting the HONDA book, not the one under the Helm name....I have seem a few dicrepencies between the two, and the factory book is a little nicer.
