Hi, me again,


I'm confused. When replacing belts ('97 Civic LX 4dr) how many of them
should be replaced? Timing, AC, alternator belts... Am I missing one
more?

I've looked and looked through my Helms manual but they never show the
entire assembly.


Thank you!

A/C, power steering pump (of course, if it's automatic) and alternator
Internally is the timing belt

Balancer shaft belt.

Power steering pump it is. Many thanks!

no balancer shaft belt on a civic...

The AC belt is a bitch, you have to pull a motor mount to
replace that belt. I would wait until it snaps!
