How do I replace the camshaft on a 2007 honda civic ex?

so last summer, I decided to tackle my camshaft issue on my 07 civic. man, I thought it would be easy, like changing a tire or something. turns out, I was wrong. spent hours in my garage, cursing at my car like it was the worst enemy ever. anyone else been there?

but when I finally got it out, it felt like a win. I watched a ton of YouTube videos, but they never really showed how messy it’d get. like, who knew oil could go everywhere? do I need to change the seals too or just the camshaft? any tips would help, cause I don’t wanna do this again anytime soon.

and seriously, if I can do this, anyone can. just don’t forget to keep track of all those tiny bolts. my dog almost ate one, and I was ready to lose it.

I’ve done this on my buddy’s 2007 Civic in California and man it took forever. You really gotta be patient especially with the timing belt.

Make sure you’re ready to follow the manual cause missing steps can mess things up big time.

Also I found out it helps to have a second pair of hands for that part where you’re lifting the camshaft back in. Good luck to whoever’s tackling this job.
