Difficulty of doing timing belt? Debating on doing it myself
I purchased an 04 a few months back, it was low miles 6x,xxx but the manual states at 7 years you should do it. I've never done a Timing belt before but I have done a few 5 lug conversions and did a auto to manual on my old integra.
From what I see is basically you unbolt it, align the pulley to the mark and rebolt everything ? I didn't anything else.
Any first timers here have advice to give? Thanks

Its not too bad if you pay attention to detail.
Remember, this aligns internal engine components.
Have a very large breaker bar and 3/4 impact handy too if you can for the crank pully bolt.
Use the steps in the acura service manual (found on here) and I would use blue locktite on everything.
Follow the manual step by step, tighten every bolt then check them all. One loose bolt in the timing cover can destroy you engine.
Gook luck
