I remember that the water pump is a part that can wear out. A lot of friends have ended up replacing theirs... I have a 99EX; how many miles should I go before I replace it, or should I replace it at all?

Also.. do I need any special tools to replace a timing belt? I have about 10k miles left on it, but I look into maintenance early.

 

do the water pump when you do the t-belt.


No special tools for the belt, just a strong enough breaker to get the crank pulley bolt off

 

Does this balancer belt ever need replacing?
Also... where do you recommend I get a new timing belt and water pump?

Thanks!
