I don't think there is a DIY on here, but you can search the forum, because I am not sure.

I think that the ericthecarguy website has one for sale for around $10.

I thought the '03 and after Accords had timing CHAINS. Maybe I'm mistaken.

This is one on an Acura TL, basically the same engine. I would not do the job without a shop manual though. The how-to doesn't give you torque specs etc. I would also change the water pump, tensioner, idler pulley, and adjuster pulley. Good luck.
