Could someone give me a brief overview of what all a Helms manual covers? I'm thinking of buying one, but I want to know if it would be worth the $70.

basically...everything
dont make the mistake of getting something cheap like a haynes or a chiltons that has cross outs, uncross outs, and always tells you to jump from chapter 10 to chapter 5, 11, and 8 just to do one thing (it doesnt even give you a pg number) which is a real pain in the ass...

Damn Helms cost that much!:loco: Why mess around go straight to your Honda Dealer and ask for a Service manual for your car, it's straight from Honda mfg. and its what there technicians use. Covers everything in exploded views, descriptions, and operations. If I'm not mistaken it also gives part #'s. I believe they sell them for around $100.00 or so.

Thats what a helms manual is.

If you want to get one, this is where I got mine: http://www.helminc.com/helm/search2result.asp?Style=&mscsid=UU6QF4BBFXRT8JJRLW4X23E6GWL844C7

It covers EVERTHING from how to remove your winshield to what every little part in your tranny is.

last i checked the dealerships dont sell the manuals there...if they did they risk losing someone shelling out cash at the dealership for a fix...

I'd go with helms. Most Service manuals I've seen are made for auto techs...Helms gives you a better walk threw IMO.

okay okay calm down, just a misunderstanding. I've had the same problem trying to decide which book is the one that I actually need. Their website is a lil screwy.
