Default any ideas on how long will it take to change the timing belt?
I have a 91 civic with a 15b motor 1.5L. Anyone who has done it before, any problems that they ran into?? Was it straight forward?

If you know what you're doing, maybe an hour.

i was told it could take half a day... or at least 3 hrs. Maybe i could half that if i get some help. Ok thanks for the advice.

The biggest problem that I have ever run into is removing the bolt on the harmonic balancer. The safest way is with air, but even with air it can be a job.
