Our '02 civic will be due for it's second timing belt change sometime this spring. I elected to roll the dice by not having the water pump replaced the first time around but plan to change it out this time.
So I am thinking about doing it myself, I've never done one before but I am reasonably competent with a wrench and would like to know if there are any "gotcha" areas to look out for. I have a service manual and the process doesn't look too bad other than removing a ton of "stuff" in order to get to the belt itself.
All thoughts, comments, recommendations, and suggestions of serious or sarcastic nature are welcome and encouraged.
