Timing belt replacement, DIY or let the pros do it?

[TGW92]

The idea behind the jack/wood under the engine is to support it while the engine mount is out, reducing strain on the other mounts, but don't try and lift it with the jack... If you are worried about supporting it from under the oil pan you can usually get away with supporting it under the gearbox, or else use a couple of jacks (with wood) maybe one under gbox and one under oil pan... And the bigger the piece/pieces of wood you use the better obviously, as greater surface area will mean less force exerted on any one point...

ah ok thanks for clarifying that up for me TGW92. Will see what my dad has to say tomorrow.

consider using a jackstand with a piee of wood ontop - to support the engine at the sup area. Wont budge - and wont damage your jack either !

Hi,

I've got a 94 Honda Accord CD5 due for a timing belt replacement. The mechanic said that this require replacing another belt as well. I did some research and it might be the timing balancer belt?

Can I get just the timing belt replaced or is there more than 1 belt in the kit that requires replacing?
