Default looking for a timing belt video for a 1.5L

Can someone please direct me to a timing belt replacement video for a 1993 1.5L This will be my first time replacing a timing belt so a good video would help be a great deal. I can find other engines but not my 1.5L
Thanks

All the D-series SOHC are basically the same, especially pre-2001 models.

It's not hard, just start taking stuff apart until you get to it. Then reverse and you're done. Piece of cake.

Not a piece of cake..it's like one of the hardest things you can do to a car if you don't work in a shop everyday. Well...for me anyway..It took me a week to get everything out, installed & everything back in. I have no idea how Mechanics do it in just a couple of hours.

Off that note...getting the Crankshaft bolt will be the hardest task EVER if you don't have power tools or the Pulley Holder for it. If you know someone with an air compressor power wrench...Use it!

There are far far harder things to do on a civic. A week? Are you serious? That'd be understandable if you were working on it every night after work or something like that. But if you have most of the day, like me, you could be all said and done in 2 days, and that's learning as you go. Once you know it then it's a couple hours.

And the crankbolt isn't as hard as people sound it to be. On my car, it was 3x as tight as it should have been. We broke tools trying to get it off, took it to a mechanic who broke tools getting it off. And my crank pulley will not work with the available tool. The secret is to take the dust cover off that's between the engine and trans, then take the shifter holder cover off. Then use a crow bar and jam it in the teeth so they can't move, and wha la you can remove the crank pulley. No power tools needed.
