Default 05 timing belt & peeling wheel question

Is there a difference in timing belt kits w/ water pumps for 03/04 and the later 05 to 09? I seen some advertised as 03/04 only.

For anyone that had their original peeling wheels repaired or restored, How did you manage the logistics of it, get second set of wheels and tires while yours were being repaired, put it on jack stands or did whoever did it handle the dismounting/ remounting of the tires?

thanks

Since I was doing the restoration myself, I did one wheel at a time. Put the spare tire in place of the tire I was doing. Did the spare tire last. My wife was driving the vehicle the whole time.

When I had my CR-V steel wheels refinished, I did the jack stands and took 4 wheels to the shop to get powder coated. The guy charged $10 to remove and $10 mount the tires after the job was done, but I had to take them to a tire shop (Farm & Fleet) to get balanced. 10 days later, $300 well spent!
