the whole job with breaks, work, and even a travel weekend in the middle took me 5 days. Job wasn't terrible, but having a good tool kit is a must.
I replaced an axle seal while i had the passenger axle out, and that axle doesn't technically HAVE to come out, so i made the job a little longer than it needed to be. Technically, i've seen how-tos on the yoo toobz where they didn't pull the intake manifold, i pulled mine, then replaced the gasket, which wasn't technically needed either.
Water pump also was replaced with new bolts, also not needed since the old water pump was frankly pristine, but peace of mind being what it is, got done anyway.
Find the link to the FSM and follow it. have a second screen up with a youtube how-to of someone doing the job and go piece by piece. If you can do a honda TB, you can do this one. Just be prepared to follow the procedure to fix the keyless crank in place, and do NOT buy the cheap POS timing tools available from amazon.
I've done v6 honda TBs and this job is easier, and far less failure prone if you just follow directions and take your time.
