Default Timing Belt help..

I am coming up on 60,000 miles and want to replace my timing belt. Everyone says it is a pain in the *** and if you pay someone to do it, it costs like 400 for installation. Any ideas?? Is that a reasonable price or should I try it myself???

Try it yourself, but make sure you have the proper tools and lots of time and you don't get frustrated easily. I am assuming this is a B series.

Yeah the heavy price is reasonable because if you dont have air tools it is nearly impossible. Read this https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=649277 and see if you wanna tackle it.

i assume this is for a d series? b series belt replacement intervals are 105k, not 60k. d series is 60k. so, if you have a b, then you can wait a little longer. just making sure
