Replacing Timing belt 1986 Honda Accord LX
Any information regarding the changing of the timing belt on my 1986
Accord would be appreciated. A link to an instructional web site would be even better. I have bought the belt, tensioner, water pump and feel confident I can do the job. My car is a five speed carbureted engine with 183,000 miles. Thanks in advance Bill |

www.autozone.com has free online repair guides for most Hondas made before
1996 . It's a good start. I advise first spending a weekend figuring out how you are going to break free the crankshaft pulley bolt, then doing so. You do not have to fully dis-assemble everything to get at the bolt. Freeing this bolt is one of the biggest hoops through which you must jump to accomplish this maintenance. > wrote > Any information regarding the changing of the timing belt on my 1986 > Accord would be appreciated.

Yes, like Mike said.
But there are three other viable alternatives in my mind, based on my reading here but also based on my replacement of the front crank seal (which requires removal of the pulley bolt) on my 1991 Civic: 1. Take it to your local shop and have them break it free with their probably bigger, industrical size air impact wrench set. Tip I dunno $10. Snug up the bolt, drive home, and it should come free again easily. Quick, dirty, and pretty safe. 2. Or there is a tool that can be purchased for around $50 (maybe less on Ebay or with enough searching) that will hold the pulley (and so crankshaft fixed) while you use a breaker bar, 3/4" extension, 3/4"-1/2" adapter, and 1/2" socket to break it free. 3. Or you can fabricate your own tool. For my 1991 Civic, the cost of this home-made tool ran about $10. Email me if you want some more sites (that also have photos) of the whole procedure, with special attention (of course!) to breaking free the pulley bolt. Ask if you want more info about the tools in (2) and (3) above.
