Water Pump failed on my CRX today, towed it home.
Sitting at my house, jacked up, wheel off. Looks like its painfully easy to do, I just don't have any experience setting timing and quite frankly it intimidates me.
From the guides I'm reading online, it says pretty much:
-Remove crank pulley (17mm bolt)
-Remove timing covers
-Loosen tensioner and remove belt
-Replace whatever
-Set timing, replace belt
-Re-attach everything
The car's a damn SOHC, its a VERY VERY simple layout, but like I said, I just don't know what to do with timing stuff. The only difficult part will be removing the crank pulley bolt, but from the looks of things we can do it 3S-style and prop a breaker bar up on the chassis.
I need this fixed tonight or tomorrow morning if at all possible. I have lights and tools.
Whoever comes to help I can give misc. 3S parts (tons available), $20, pizza, beer, or any combination of the above.
Realistically, it looks like a one-hour job, seriously.
(817) 999-0494, like I said, need it fixed immediately, so please call.
