Don't use the torch, it's unnecessary, don't use an impact wrench, buy the crank pully holding tool. Replace the water pump when you do the belts. Don't rely onu-tube videos, that guy is a slob mechanic.

So my question is this, would I change it the same way as the one the video when it comes to replacing the following, or are they totally different? The only thing i would do different is not us a torch to remove the crankshaft pully, i would use a Powerbuild 648796 Honda crankcase pulley removal tool instead.
