Default Timing belt

Is there a way to tell if ones used Acura has ever had the timing belt changed?

When does it need to be changed (mileage wise)?

Is it a difficult task?

Thanks

It's pretty ez if you have all the correct tools, there is no way of telling how old the timing belt is, and ball park when to change the timing belt is 90-110k miles or 5 year apart.

You could check the tension of it.

A loose belt signifies that it is old/worn.
