My brother just got a Haynes manual for his CRX, it has a lot of
explanations for the how as well as why. For my car (83 civic) I got a
Honda service manual with the car and the only problem I have with it
is that it assumes that you know what everythink looks like beforehand
(ie. it will tell you that you need to remve something but will not
tell you how or where it is) however they may have changed that aspect
in the 10 years following.
