Can You Replace a Timing Belt at Home and Save $$$ 

What's the cost or replacing a timing belt? It's often well over a thousand dollars. Fortunately many vehicles can be serviced quite easily from home. In the process you'll save a ton of cash and learn how to complete this task at home.
The average labor cost to replace a timing belt can range from $200 - $900. The cost of a timing belt itself is only between $25 and $50. You should not opt for a “just the belt” replacement, as it increases the chances of further failure. You should also replace the water pump, tensioner, and pulleys at the same time.
This specific vehicle is a 2006 Acura TL. The timing belt and water pump procedure is very similar for those of you owning a:
Acura RL timing belt and water pump
Acura MDX timing belt and water pump
Acura ZDX timing belt and water pump
Honda Odyssey timing belt and water pump
Honda Accord V6 timing belt and water pump
Honda Ridgeline timing belt and water pump
Honda Pilot timing belt and water pump
Honda Crosstour timing belt and water pump
Here's a replacement video - • Subaru 2.5L EJ25 Timin... - performed on a Subaru. Although it's a completely different engine, the process is similar. Remove the drivebelt, any accessories in the way, lining up the camshafts and crankshaft to top dead center, remove the idler bearings, tensioner and water pump. It's always incredibly useful to purchase the factory repair manual for your vehicle. You'll find useful diagrams, repair procedures and torque specs.
