Default 90,000 mile fun

Our 1999 Odessey van is coming up on 90,000 miles.

Our local whiz-bang auto shop wants to do it, estimates around $1000.

I don't HAVE a spare $1000. So I start looking into what's involved
and whether I can do it. Change plugs and filters, check. Change fluids,
check.
Change timing belt... hmmm...

I've done several (successful!) head-gasket replacements on
VW Rabbits. This involved removing and replacing the timing belt,
which is in a rather accessible location on a Rabbit.

Does this qualify me to replace the timing belt on an Oddesey?


And from the list of things to do, I can't see it costing more than $20 in
fluids,
$20 in parts, plus about $50 for the timing belt.


Any opinions appreciated,

George
