Eric has a VManual on timing belts. There one for your specific engine and that info is in there. its 15 bucks but its well worth it.
Basically you have two options.
One is to get the appropriate tool from a Honda dealership which is a couple hundred bucks.The other requires a lot of steps that would be best if eric got on here and described how to do it. But basically you make sure that the piston in cylinder #1 is completely at the bottom in the up or compression stroke. you remove the coil pack, and the spark plug then stuff it full of rubber tubing (approx 4 feet) then you crank on that baby until she breaks lose.
DONT do anything based on what i said i recomend geting erics timing belt video or wait for him to post on here. My description was just to give you a slight idea on what going to be going on.
You may need a breaker bar in order to break it loose btw.
just based on my own experience, i know exactly what you are going through. I think the best way to go about it is with maybe a torch and an air hammer to loosen things up… and then a big pneumatic impact… something that can deliver a huge amount of torque. Some ingersoll rand impacts can deliver 1,000 ft/lbs of torque, but maybe something with like 700 ft/lbs could get the job done.
now’s not the time to sissy around: at the end of the day you need a big impact, a big air compressor, and an impact socket.
Now is the time to use the right tools for the right job.
Went to the local rental shop and rented a 1150ft/lb 3/4″ impact wrench. Bolt was out and on the shop floor in less than 30 seconds. A case when bigger was better… Thanks again…Rob><>
