Default where to get a service manual

I'd like to get a service manual for my '02 Accord V6. I would really like the Factory service manual but the few times I've seen them they are super expensive.

Is the Helm manual the same?

Does anybody have others (Chilton, Haynes, Clymer) that they recommend. My experience with them is that they aren't as complete as the factory manuals. The two factory manuals for my Monte Carlo add up to about 4" of book. My Haynes manual is about 3/4" thick.

Any recommended sources for a manual?

Thanks!

Thanks. I tried the Helm website right after I posted that.

I'll set up an ebay search too. Going directly to Helm is quite a bit of coin. Maybe I can offload a used one from somebody.

Thanks!

yea they are expensive... but its 1500pgs and covers almost everything.

If youre doing basic stuff... you can probably get away with the cheaper ones.... but they wont cover everything in detail. Some people have had issues with missing diagrams and incorrect page references :dunno:
