Hey everybody. I recently got a 2005 Civic LX 1.7 automatic. It's got about 170k miles on it and I have no idea how old the timing belt is. Judging by the condition of everything else, I'm guessing it's past due for a change.
I bought the Aisin TKH-003 timing and water pump kit, a valve cover gasket, power steering and alternator/air conditioning belt, thermostat and gasket, coolant, oil and filter, and most importantly the crank pulley holder tool. I also got an oil pan gasket and exhaust collector bolts because the oil pan is leaking. But my top priority is making sure that the engine doesn't grenade itself because of an old timing belt.
I've done a lot of work on a lot of cars through the years. Including a few timing belts and chains on Ford and GM 4 cylinders. But the only major work I've done on a Honda was a carburetor and clutch on my 80s Civic.
I've gone through the Haynes manual and read the stickies on the forum here. And it seems like it's fairly similar in procedure to the rest. But since I've never done one on a Honda. And this is my only car right now. I need to make sure that I have everything I need on hand and enough time to do it. I know Honda has their own ways of doing things so I want to be prepared for anything. I'll be doing everything in my driveway with hand tools. I know I need to get another breaker bar and a spare 17mm impact socket just to be safe. And I should get a torque wrench.
But is there any other tools, parts, or anything else I should have on hand before I start? And most importantly, how long should it take me to get it done from start to finish? Assuming that it takes me 30 minutes to an hour to get the crank bolt loose and I don't have any other major issues.
I know it's a long winded post. But I have to make sure that I am fully prepared before I start. I greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you did your research. If you are familiar with working on cars Hondas are pretty easy. I’d say 6-8 hours for a first timer and you’re not rushing. I have a 6ft piece of pipe that I bought as a cheater pipe for my first Honda crank bolt. You might need that and like 18” of extensions so you can rest it on a Jack stand and work outside the wheel well. Having the holder tool is nice.

When I did the timing belt on my Pilot I borrowed a DeWault impact from work and it zipped the bolt right off.

Why a spare 17 mm socket? The crankshaft bolt is a 19 mm if that's what you're referring to. If you have any friends/family with a big impact gun, it will make quick work of that crankshaft bolt. May require a weighted 19 mm socket to get it off but much easier than fighting it. I have split a 1/2" drive 19mm socket down the side trying to get a crankshaft bolt loose using a cheater pipe. Granted, it was from Harbor Freight.

For someone experienced with all the right tools available, it's probably like a 3 hour job. I think my first one took about 10-12 hours over two days (not experienced at the time and definitely not the right tools).

Milwaukee 1/2 impact zipped the crank pulley right off for me
