Default How do you change?

How do you change the timing belt, and water pump, and a em1. At how many miles is it time to change it, my just hit the 90,000 miles. I try searching on here but no luck or maybe I'm searching wrongs. Nice if somone can point me to the right direction.

You take it to honda, or a local shop and have it done.

About every 80k or 6 years.

x2, leave it to the pros if you don't know what you're doing. Make sure it's a responsible shop too so my vote also goes to a Honda dealership.

With all due respect, most people don't know what they're doing until they do it for the first time. If you are mechanically inclined, get a Helm's manual, acquire the proper tools and parts, and get to work. But if you must have it done, please don't take it to Honda, unless you like being raped. Any reasonable shop will charge you a fraction of what Honda will.

The timing belt is not an ideal place to begin your mechanical journey. At the very least, you need to find someone in the area who has done it before so you don't trash your engine trying to do it right.
