Default Seattle, HT's (Timing Belt)

Anyone wana put a timing belt on my 91 civic? I have some cash but not the amount shops are asking for. I live right by the UW, I'd like to actually learn how to do this but I'll still pay for the service.

The "tool" is a 1/2" socket wrench and a screwdriver. You'll also need a jack, and you can use the handle as a breaker bar for the socket wrench. You could also take the car to a shop and have them break it loose and torque it back to spec. Then take it home and it will come off a lot easier. You don't need much space, go to a parking lot or driveway.

Spend the money on tools.
I just did mine first time, and it wasn't that hard.
You can always ask the knowledgeable group here for help while you are doing it.

^^ I'm pretty broke as usual after paying off some loans, and this car is important. I'm not sure which route to take. Every place I check dosn't give exact tools needed for the job, its always different.
