q. how hard is it to do?
a. very easy, there are 3-8mm bolts that hold on the distributor cap, then that comes off no problem, just make sure you don't mess up the firing order.

and rotor is easy as well, there is a phillips screw that holds on the rotor, and you just take that off and the rotor comes off no problem.

parts you can get anywhere man, any dealer or canadian tire, or any parts store under the sun. factory parts are lik 30$

good luck, unless you're a stupid dumbass you won't have trouble

if you can do your own oil change, you can change your distributor and rotor.

buy it from Honda....I think club members gets discounts at one of the dealerships.

mark the fireing order with peices of numbered tape ..ie top left (TL) bottem Right (BR) ect...you dont want to mix them all up, cuz its a pain in the ***.... and some rotors use an allan key, no big deal...Its pretty well a comman sence setup, very easy...

I just hold the new cap next to the old cap.....then I move one plug wire at a time.

Faster than putting tape on the wires.
