Great video. I just replaced the factory belt on my 2011 Odyssey with 68,830 miles on the clock. It took longer than I wanted it to, mostly because I looped it incorrectly twice and had to keep coming back to your diagram for reference. Nice job aid! Next I'm gonna tackle my daughter's 2015 Honda Fit.
Good info, I couldn't find the tensioner operation, my problem is the lower tensioner pulley bearing has to be bad since the belt is a third off causing belt to come off power steering pulley
I might add that it would also be a good idea to check the bearings as well before putting the belt back on just to see if they need replacing. A bad bearing could be the cause for squeaking or screeching noises when the car is running.
Excellent video and very well explained. Thanks for sharing. Have an '05 Odyssey that I am going to do the timing belt, water pump, timing belt tensioner, idler pulley replacement. I'am not a mechanic, just starting to get all the info needed to perform this 105k maintenance on my van. Will you please provide any additional info about this procedure? Like torque specifications on idler pulley, timing belt tensioner, etc. Do I need to remove the serpentine belt tensioner? Thank you in advance for your assistance and prompt response. I fully understand that all and any information you provide will be at my own risk and you are not responsible in anyway for info provided and/or work I do with that information. Thank you again.
Chech out my channel. I'm working on that right now. I've got part 1 of the timing belt Replacement done and the water pump Replacement video. I'm working on putting part 2 together on the timing belt Replacement. Should have it out shortly.
@@BarboursAutoHelp Thank you very much for your prompt response. I just saw part 1 of the video you mentioned. It's excellent! Thank you. Will be waiting for part 2. I have subscribed to your channel
What's the reason for using the lower fake nut to remove and the upper fake nut to install? Is it possible to just use the upper fake nut for both and not remove the wheel?
Kieth, this was really helpful. I can't tell you how much frustrating time I've spent trying to get the serpentine belt on and off my 2010 Odyssey. Two additional notes - I've been using a couple of small spring clamps to grab the belt onto the larger pulley wheels as I'm initially fitting the belt - it really helps when working alone to keep the belt from slipping and flopping all over when I want all the slack right at the tensioner pulley. Also, I never understood (until yesterday) that the tensioner piston takes time to move (due to internal oil pressure) - it doesn't "collapse" like the old spring-loaded tensioners used to, so it feels like nothing is happening. But, just apply constant and even pressure with the socket wrench (maybe 15 to 20 seconds) and it will move enough to slide the belt onto the pulley wheel. This part of my job was way easier than changing my one-year old timing belt tension actuator (thank you Dayco), but that's another story. eric
No mention of how difficult it is to straighten and align the belt itself. They come coiled up. My belt won't straighten to save my life. A 2 man job, top and bottom, which, if you're on jacks... Not easy.

I had a hard time. I did it your way with a 24" breaker bar and it was easy. Thanks
Thanks for your information, really helped me out

YOU DA MAN!!!
Superb detailed explanation
Glad you liked it!

Man! That's great info! Thanks for the addition.
Nice video and it will help me a lot.

Yes i seem to have problems get ting belt on anything thing I can do make it easier for me thanks rob
Its not an easy job. It was difficult for me.
I added a few things to this one to make it more helpful.

That's great information. Thank you for sharing. I'm confident this info will help someone.
I need to replace belt on my 05 Honda odyssey but the bottom dummy nut is gone can I release tension from top dummy nut?
Is the 2008 the same belt part number? And do you have a picture of the sequence?
Don't know. Probably not. No I don't have a pic.
Isn't it 19mm? not 3/4"
I've got an 05, and I can't for the life of me find the dummy nut for the tensioner. It's not where it is in the video.
Thank you
You're welcome
Yes
😁👍
nice
3/4 socket??? It’s a Honda. It’s metric. It’s a 19mm.
They are the same size. 3/4=19mm.
Why is it so fking hard to put the belt on . I am on my second belt tensioner ,fake nut broken.
Man, I'm not sure! That stinks. Try slow and steady pressure.
I did the same on my 3rd tensioner! Any recommendations?
Good video though.
thanks
That's fo
yeah - I learned the hard way after I sheared the top tension bolt while trying to reinstall belt. Nice video mate.
Oh man! That stinks.
