I don't think that a company making such an assumption would necessarily be wrong -- that said, Helm doesn't, as far as I can tell. I have the Helm manual for my 2001 Odyssey and my 2003 Accord, and if you have to take a single screw out to accomplish a task, it tells you. Yes, that's the impression I was getting from Helm manual owners here. In most cases, it is a reference to another page that delineates the procedure for removing whatever has to be removed in order to get to removing the subject at hand. In my experience (so far) with these manuals, it's *all* in there, just as Caroline expects. That said, I also wonder if what she's seeing is in fact identical to the Helm manual, although the bit I looked at, the 'table of contents', so to speak, *did* look to be the same. I see that the UK site's manuals likewise often refer to another page that delineates a particular sub-procedure. IIRC many of the UK site's manual pages say "Honda Motor Co." at the bottom. Also, it sounds like people know or agree that Helm uses the actual manufacturer's workshop pages, too. At this point because of the UK site (which I use a lot), I think I'll skip buying a Helm manual or CD but maybe will buy a hard copy of a Chilton's at Ebay. (I have been borrowing Chiltons from the library for years as needed, supplementing with online assistance.) There seems to be some confusion as to what the "Helm" manual is. Helm does |
Service manual. If the pages on the UK site say Honda Motor Co. on the
bottom of the pages, it is probably the same book.
Some years & models have better detail than others, but I have never found
more detail in the 3rd party manuals by Haynes or Chilton - always less.

Helm does not write manuals, they are the distributor in the US for the Honda Factory Service manual.
