I have previous auto repair experience but it was the first time I did that kind of job on a Honda. Honda dealers charge 3.5 hours for Civic timing belts and I've seen one changed out in less than 1 hour so you can't always go by that. It helps that a buddy of mine showed my all the tools that I would need and told me to have at it. It probably helped a little that the car was from Texas and had not rust issues to deal with.

If you guys think it's tough on a Honda, you should see how it is on Benzes that use the same design. Mercedes would attach the rotor to the hub with Allen head bolts that would like to strip out quick. And the Mercedes rotor wouldn't last near as long as the ones on Hondas.
