Default timing belt... how hard?

i have a 1999 accord ex 2 door with 2.3 F23a1 i bought this car for 2k and all i did was installed a new radiator. the car has 215k on it and still runs like a top but i want to chang eboth the cam timing belt and the balance shaft belt as well as water pump cam and crank seals. i turn wrenchs for a living but i have never done a timing belt before.

I helped my brother change his on a 2000. Patience is a virtue. We had to stand on a four foot pipe to break the crank pulley bolt loose.

If you turn wrenches then I would say that this would be an easy task for you. Air tool impact will take off the crank shafy bolt. Make sure you set the engine on top dead center before you go pulling off the belts. Cam shaft marks on back of camshaft sprocket/pulley. White line on Crank shaft pulley. Hole in the bellhousing of tranny. Good luck.

It all takes time. If you can wrench and follow directions, you can do this.
