- Sorry the footage isn't great but hopefully it helps.
It would be better to use a balljoint press (or regular press) for putting the new bearing in.
If using a hammer just hit on opposite sides only on the outside race and make sure the bearing is going in straight.
My gosh, has this car been under the ocean? My Fit is much older with nothing close to this amount of rust. Wow. Great video, very informative. I'd probably just replace the whole tensioner, but there is money savings doing it this way.
Welcome to the salt belt where our cars last 10-15 years before they literally rust apart.
As far as replacing the whole tensioner goes. The tensioner was still doing its job well and I was curious if I could replace a $10 part instead of a $100 part. If it didn’t work out I would only be out $10 and I would still have a video for my RUclips channel.
If it were for someone else I would probably replace the whole assembly considering the car had 150k+ miles on it.
would it be possible to replacing pulley without actually unbolting tensioner?
I don’t think so.
6203LH with the blue seal? That's the light seal version I think, was that factory? Interesting.
As far as I know it was factory. I had never replaced it and the previous owner had pretty extensive records and it wasn't in those either.
OMG, 10 yo car and all that rust? How many km does it have?
About 252000km in this video. If one of my cars makes it to the 15 years old I’m feeling pretty lucky. That’s why I’m experimenting with rust proofing.
@@thehondafitguy that's the weak point of japanese cars. I jas a Seat Leon mk1 18 years old without rust
@@AC-db4ek Upstate NY is probably one of the worst places to own a car because we get snow often and we salt the roads every time. So from mid November to mid April our cars are exposed to salt and sand. It’s also quite humid most of the year so once the rust starts it just keeps on going.
I haven’t seen any brand car that survives well up here. The lifespan due to rust is probably 8-15 years. The Hondas actually seem to do better than most.
We don’t have SEAT vehicles here so I can’t comment on them but other VW platform cars rust just as bad up here.
