Doing test A,C,D

#1

According to Honda Civic 2001 manual after 48,000km (mine now 47500) I have
to do these things beside changing the oil rotate tires.

1) Inspect and adjust drive belts
2) Replace air conditioning filter
3) Replace air condition cleaner element.

I want to do these by myself this time. I am not sure what of these I can do
it at home (with help from car manual, instructions from you/websites etc)
and which one can not be done at home (I suspect the first one).
The reason I want to do it beside saving money, learn something, and I have
the time to do it, so why not. Any help/direction/advice etc about how to
do all these above would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, forget to mention do I need to buy anything to do these .. how about
the first test .. inspecting drive belts??

For sure you should do 2 and 3 yourself.

2) this requires no tools, just follow the instructions in the manual to
swap out the AC filter

3) this is also very easy, look at the manual to see where to unscrew the
bolts and swap out the air filter.

The last time I checked, a screwdriver was considered a tool.

Again using a screwdriver AKA a tool. <g>.

Thanks for the info, buddy. But swapping out the AC filter still doesn't
require any tools.

Again, thanks for the info. Note that I did not say anywhere that #3 didn't
require tools. It requires a socket wrench.

Yeah, you'll need to buy the filters. Look in the maintenance section in the
manual for the parts and instructions. Sorry, I don't have any experience
with drive belts.

Possibly not, but, to get to the A/C filtre does require the use of a
screwdriver. To remove the glove compartment.

No. 1 open hood and look at belts with the motor running.. look to see

if they loop- swing out when rotating??? probably not, then turn motor
off and feel the belts to see if they are loose.. thats all the dealer
would do....
No. 2 look in this news group for 2001 honda a/c filter replacement, it
was there 7.27.03...... i just read it....
No. 3 I dont know what a a/c cleaner element is, but cant be much other
than pulling out filter and putting new one in.....
