is there a way to replace the timing belt without pulling the engine on a ninty three accord? i have removed the power steering pum and alternator, and the corrisponding brackets. it looks like the plastic cover goes behind all the pullys? if any one knows a trick it would sdave me a day or two of work.
thanx

You don't need to pull the engine to replace the timing belt.

Brace the engine from underneath with 2X4's or whatever. Take off the needed engine mounts on the drivers side. From there, you should be able to access the crank pulley - you'll need an air impact gun to break the crank pulley bolt loose.

After you do that, it's pretty straight forward. You should go buy a manual from a local auto parts stores if you haven't already.

 

Yea and air impact 1/2 inch drive or 3/4 drive. 3/4 is better b/c has more tork behind it.

Me just used pribar to lock up flywheel, then a 1/2 drive and twist really really hard, took me a few really good pulls but got it off.

Wish I would have used my impact, would had been easier, but then again I needed the work out.


If you dont need to pull the oil pan support it with a jack and a good slab of 2x4.
Take off the interfearance head motor mount. Then slowly lower the engine. Most of the time you need to remove the center cross member also.

Just watch out for the balancer shaft belt, make sure you are replacing that too at the same time and check your water pump while you are in there, oh the ever forgotten front seal/oil seal.

 

thanx man you saved me a bunch of work
