I don't like haynes. Go all out an get the chiltons! They pretty much go through everything. I got one for the accord and it saved alot of time on my swap. 1000+ pages of pure awsomenesstrositly.

[cp[mike]]

chiltons is definately better, and the helms being better than that. i have all three, all of which are spectacular for a beginner...

just trying to get the word out there! i dont think people realize how wonderful a good repair manual is... tons of content, arranged by type, indexed with an easy lookup table, and its light and portable and you can bring it out to the car with you. its like having an experienced mechanic standing next to you that will explain how to do everything!

[b-bomb]

I agree. I have a haynes manual and I've definately got my moneys worth out of it. You can get it at any auto parts store too. Where could I find one of those other ones?

[cp[mike]]

ive got a chilton's manual (like new) for sale for 10 shipped, whoever wants it PM me.... or you can find them on amazon for like $20.

helms are harder to find, you need to order them right from them, and they are pretty expensive, i think i paid $60 for a used one. its the OEM honda repair manual, but its printed/released by Helm, Inc.

Ever since i own a haynes and chilton manual i felt more confident about messin with my cb.

You cheeky monkey...



Haynes is better than Chiltons simply because it focuses on ONE car. The Chilton's manual focuses on 4 seperate Accord models (2nd-5th generation) and 3 seperate Prelude models (2nd-4th generation). Finding the information you need in a Chilton's is a little tough, and I find that the diagrams and details I'm looking for are often for the wrong car. We share some things in common with the 5th gen, but 2nd and 3rd might as well be Subarus. If you know enough to use the general information, you don't really need the manual! I got the Chilton's because it covered my Accord chassis and my Prelude engine

Helms is always best.
In addition to a good book, a good set of tools will work wonders. Go outside and take something apart, dammit! Hell, I pulled my starter out one day just because I felt like it... never did it before. I learned. When I actually NEEDED to do it, I already knew how!
I book will guide you, but you'll never be good until you DO something. I know for a fact that people here would rather tell you how to fix something you screwed up by trying and making a mistake, than to hold your hand from the very beginning.

hell yea, im very hands on...i could look at a book all day and have an inkling on how its to be done but untill my hands are cut up and dirty as shit(really dirty since i havent cleaned my engine bay yet, 167k miles of pure Honda dirt!) from wrenching i dont learn anything.

And id have to agree withca deev, from what i see peeps on here never mind helping someone out when they are lost or fucked something up but when you want to be walked through something for the first time its kind of annoying not to mention hard to troubleshoot and shit over a forum.

First thing i bought when i got my cb was a Haynes manual, not only so i could mod but more importantly so i could troubleshoot and FIX if i was ever stranded or broke down.....well havent had that happen yet since its a Honda lol but its come in handy time after time when i needed to replace something or swap it with an aftermarket part.

Mines actually torn apart from using it so i need a new one...i wanna invest in a helms one..

Helms for 1993 Cb7

just change the year and your good!

I love my haynes. I have another but I'm not sure what kind it is. I love how it tells me to check my battery fluid levels and stuff like that. lol, a little out of date but the info is defiantly there

[Turbo Dave]

haynes is great to have around until you get a swap lol then your like vtec solenoid vtec solenoid oh shit its not in here!

[Turbo Dave]
