Anyone have access to the service manual and could share the procedure? I have done the job more than once on my J35A9 but there are some significant differences of course with the DOHC and manual setup of the tensioner on the Y8 that I would like to review what the service manual says.

No, I have 1300 miles on my 2025 but never to early to prepare. Mostly just curious about some of the differences and how the tensioner is setup. Yes it'll be nice to not have to disconnect and work around the power steering pump and lines. I want to get a look at how the belt routes around the DOHC vs. single, etc. On my 2007 the second timing belt went out at 218k just before I was about to change it, which turned into an engine replacement in my garage. So I will be doing as close to the OEM schedule as possible just to ensure no worries. I understand it was still extremely rare for it to fail at only ~10% past schedule, but it did.

I got you. Honda doesn't really lay it all out all encompassing in one SM but you'll get the idea of it here. Have to support engine, remove engine mount on that side I'm sure, remove covers, then you're pretty much here. The cam holding tool is only for keeping them and the belt static during the counter-clockwise turning of the crank to compress the tensioner which allows you to pin it and then remove it.
