    I am needing info on timing belt replacement on my 98 accord 4cylinder. The
    car has 132000 miles and don't know if it's ever been changed yet. How hard
    is it to do? I am a decent mechanic but never tackled one of these.Dealer
    wants $600 to do it, I can buy parts for $200. So I want to do it myself.
    PLEASE HELP!

    It's due!
    The main problem is usually the crankbolt:

    Recommend getting factory service manual.
    You may need a impact gun to get the crank bolt loose.
    Change out water pump and seal while you're in there.
    Consider changing out crank seal, camshaft seals, belt tensioner bearing
    also.
    Replace all external belts.
    You'll lose coolant when changing water pump, draining coolant prior and
    consider changing out thermostat.
    Inspect hose and replace those hard to reach one in the back. Consider
    replacing the large rad. hoses, since coolant is drained.
