CIVIC Timing belt change photoshoot

[C0mradeAlex]

My car badly needed a timing belt change and i did not have the air tools to do it nor did i want to spend a lot of money. Lucky for me, my friend's older brother friend loves working on cars so he did it for me for 100 bucks. I got to watch and see how exactly its done and I'm glad i let him do it. It us 20 minutes with air-tools and a torch to get the crankshaft bolt off. My friend also took amazing photos of the job and put them on his flickr.

Yeah the rusty crankshaft bolt was my biggest enemy during the whole operation.

of course the crank bolt would be the only thing holding me back its taken me 2 days with air tools and all to get it off and i still haven't seen it move any at all
