1996 Honda Accord LX -there is a hose behind the distributor that is leaking anti-freeze. How difficult to remove the distributor and replace the hose? I cannot get to the hose without taking the distributor cap off and perhaps the whole distributor. If I should not do this, what will it cost for a shop to do it?

A work shop will take about 1/2 Hr to do this, If you set the engine at TDC No1 remove the cap and using a paint pen, mark the relative position of the rotor to the distributor body and the distributor body to the head, you will have no problems re aligning it, but the ignition timing will have to be re checked if the distributor is removed or moved in any way.
