One must take great care with that wrench trick. Once you get it to grip properly, it is very important to keep adequate tension to hold them in the se alignment and to NEVER alter the alignment while applying force. I learned that the hard way and my fingers hurt for a week.
My wife called from the interstate today and described losing the alternator belt. (2017 CX-5) She was 200 miles away and your video was a great reference to make sure I had everything I needed to do the repair confidently in a parking lot. BTW, the belt was CRAZY tight even with the tensioner released to the limit. I got the belt on about a quarter of an an inch and then bumped the starter. That did the trick and the belt went into proper position. Thanks!
Thanks a bunch man, you saved me. I was trying to install a new v belt ( the smaller one) and it just wasnt going in. I was trying to use a small prying tool to help it in while turning the crank pulley, but it just wasnt happening. I would have never imagined that it would be as simple as pushing the belt in with your fingers, while turning of course. Thanks again.
Man I just want to thank you. I watched a few of these videos. It’s all the small things you do that make this video way better than the rest. I used your technique and this job was almost easy. Your experience shines through and makes your videos way better than the rest. Your shots and angles are also really really good. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Felix Dan, thanks for sharing. You make it look so easy, doable. I was given an estimate of $700 to replace these item. Appreciate your work and share with us.
Used this video guide to replace the Fan Belts on my neighbors 2018 CX-5 2L with 230 000km while doing the service. Everything went smoothly with no hiccups. Thumbs up 👍 Felix
What a great little way of extending a wrench (@ 3:25)... why have I never thought of that. I'm always scrambling for a wide enough pipe I never seem to have.
A couple of follow-ups after replacing these two belts on my 2014 CX-5. At 60K miles (not Km) the original belts had no signs of cracking or slight wear like yours did. I put them in the car in case of emergency. Noted the OEM water pump belt was Made In France and the replacement belt said Made In China - for what that is worth. Your nice camera work is somewhat deceptive as there isn't much room to access the tensioner pulley once the wheel well splash shield is removed. It's a tight fit to get the 17mm wrench on the tensioner pulley bolt. Also, removing the spark plugs made turning the crank so much easier. Recommended. Finally, I had lots of trouble getting the new water pump belt on as it kept slipping off the pulley as I rotated the engine. Be patient if that happens to you. And spin the crank multiple times after both belts are on like FD to ensure they are in the pulley grooves. My serpentine belt wasn't on the AC pulley correctly and I seated it properly while spinning the crank. Great video Felix, thanks again and hello from The Great State of Texas!
Thanks...no need to put car in neutral when turning crank? Leave in park ok? I'm at 113k miles belts look great but better to do now I guess than later.
Hello! I'm from Russia and don't know english. But your video is the best! It help me very much. I understand everything, my car is working good now. Thank you very much!
@@johnnytank944 maybe there was a mistakenly saying counter clockwise when i took the video . I would rotate the crank pulley clockwise. 🙏🏼 I just follow that rotation as the same when the engine is on.
As a retired electrician, I wish I had known that trick with the rag years ago. The one with the second wrench is an oldie but goodie, though it does make me a bit nervous. Cleaning the engine first is excellent advice as well. Thank you so much for this video.
Awesome, Felix. Yours is the best DIY video on RUclips to perform this CX-5 repair "on the car". It's excellent you've also included good lighting. Most appreciated. Will look for more DIY's from you. Thanks. John from Alberta, Canada.
Thank you, this will be very helpful for me. I'm changing both belts next payday. My 2014 CX-5 has just 61,000 miles & belts look ok but they're almost 9 years old.
Thank you for your excellent video, It was an immense help. The rag to get the belt off was a great trick that I had never seen before. I used some thin webbing and had my son pull the ends of it through the wheel. In retrospect it probably would have been better to remove the wheel. I have two comments however, I could get not get the stretchy water pump belt on the smaller diameter of the hub like you did. The way I got it on was from the back side of the pulley. Also, I could not get the other belt on the crankshaft pulley like you did. I had to have someone help me put it on the top on the alternator pulley while I held the tensioner from below. I saw someone wrote a comment that you turn the crankshaft counterclockwise. That's probably not a good thing to do. Thanks again for making a great video.
glad it works out, about the rotation of crankshaft pulley. I think in the video i did rotate “clockwise” but i mistakenly / falsely stated “counterclockwise” direction. But yeah just follow my video as per direction clockwise rotation correctly. it is a very tight space if you dont remove the wheel to access the belts.
That stretch belt went on easier than I thought it would. I have to do my water pump soon as it's leaking so this was helpful for the belt installation at least. Thanks!
Thank you Felix Dan! I have very little mechanical knowledge but your clear and easy to follow instructions made the job go smoothly. You are a great teacher. Thank you very much.
Good video! Thank you. I replaced my belts in my '14 6 last night. Same procedure except the crank and AC pulley are slightly less accessible. Good job!
Thanks Felix for the video. I found I had more room getting my open end wrench on the tensioner bolt from the rear of the engine bay and then using another box wrench connected to the other wrench (90 degree angle), I could pull it straight down.
Muchísimas gracias por tu vídeo , vivo aquí en el campo en Pichilemu Chile, y corte correa, siempre tengo repuestos, pero no sabía cómo sacar y poner el repuesto, estoy muy agradecido de ti.
One thing I did I forgot to mention. I removed all the spark plugs so I could turn the crank easier and just soaked them in cleaning solution while I was installing the belts (I had already previously replaced them)
Man, thanks for the upload, although, I’m only at 30k miles but when the time comes, it’ll be easy to work on my 2016.5 CX-5. I have this video saved on how to Mazda CX-5 with other how to videos.
Hi, I too have 2016 CX-5, with more miles though. Went to dealer this past fri to fix that headlight recall and they hit me with some "suggested repairs", belt & tentioner (for $533) was one, how long are those suppose to last you think?
Excellent video and great camera angles. Preciate the tips. If we're not going to save the old belt, it's definitely easier to just cut it with a knife. Just earned a fresh subscriber 😉.
I just did it by following your instructions. Thanks, you saved me hundreds of dollars, plus I have been able to do it when I wanted. Note: The 17mm wrench is required as a socket+ratchet doesn’t fit because it’s too tight
For some reason 17mm sockets and wrenches were not part of my old Craftsman sets either but I had another set that had them. I tried every wrench combo I had and the 17mm box end was the only one that would fit in the tight space. I wanted to use a long breaker bar and socket or crowsfoot socket. The box end wrench wasn't long enough to get leverage so I had to use the two wrench trick. Also I thought I wasn't going to be able to get the tensioner to move at first. Never dealt with a hydraulic tensioner before. You need to apply pressure and it will slowly move, it feels like you are rounding off the hex head before it moves. My belts has 122,000 miles and 7 years on them and pieces of the ribbing were missing.

Thanks for great video 😊 and what about tensioner pulley? It is worn out. Should't it be changed too? Genuine part comes only like an assy, no separate pulley available, and the price is really high
@@GarasiFelixDan This is inconvenient, since I have large hands and work closely in this place. For which I pull the roller up with a wire and a lever.
I have a question. What happened if you rotate counter-clockwise a little bit on the crank shaft to adjust the water pump belt when putting it on? Thank you great video really help.
it is okay if you need to adjust and rotate counter clockwise a little bit , just dont do it often it will wear out the bearings or piston rings out unevenly.
Can you help bro pls How i fix may mazda cx5 engine fan not working.. But when you switch on the aircon, the engine and radiator fan are both working. How to fix bro?
Good afternoon, I want to congratulate you on your excellent video, a consultation after installing the two belts, how it is synchronized or how many turns must be made to the main pulley so as not to lose the synchronization of the engine, thank you in advance ..
Outstanding video with straight to the point information. THANK YOU I'm replacing the alternator on a 2016 Mazda 3 with a 2.0L and this video is very helpful again thank you 😊
Hey man, thanks making great tutorials on CX5 maintenance tips. Could you do one for replacing/adding the stock horn as it only comes only with a single tone horn that sounds ridiculous? I was considering to replace it myself, but no vids i could find on YT. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks man!
There are some guides on mazda3revolution on how to do this. You can replace the stock with two upgraded horns, you just need to splice into wiring for 12V horn signal and then ground to metal for negative.
Hi, when you replace the belts do you need to replace the tensioner? In the video you only replaced the belt. Could not find much info. Thanks. Nice video.
@@GarasiFelixDanindeed. Just saw them myself now looking under the enginge with a torch. My Mazda dealer told me they need to be replaced. But to me they look fine. Just like yours. Even though they are 12 years old by now probably. What is your opinion?
@@GarasiFelixDan no noise, and no visible cracks! (it also writes "Made in France" on the smaller belt as did on yours) I have the AWD 160Hp. I love the car! Bought it used in 2021 with 92k km. Now it has 135k km on it. Driving it in central Europe, where I live. The Mazda technician also told me that allegedly the oil pan was rusty/leaky and needs replacement. Not sure if I should believe him and whether he just wants me to get expensive stuff done by him (500 to 600€! Accordingly). I read that this issue is rather unusual for CX-5, mostly concerning Mazda 2. Either way, thanks for all your help and fantastic videos Felix.
@@Guidolino1234 you r welcome sir. perhaps for that oil pan get it wash with dish soap and trace for any oil leaks , it could be simple as oil drain plug gasket.
Excellent video. Just one comment, is it necessary to let the rag travel around the water pump pulley? I was concerned it might get stuck making the job harder. How about using the rag to pull on bottom part of the belt for half revolution and before it gets swallowed by pump pulley put it on top part of belt and pull. Keep alternating.
Thank you & very Welcome RC :) yes that is correct lucky enough i didnt get the rag stuck up there Pheeeww..., for the next time doing this part of water pump belt im going to get one extra person to rotate the crank pulley for me and other person would pull the drive belt with the rag ,so it would be done easier in one shot :) its just that my other hand didn't have enough power to pull it in one round whilst the other hand turning the crank pulley :D.
@@GarasiFelixDan If you don't want to keep the the old belt you can cut them. Removing the water belt seems to be the hardest part. Thanks Dan for your videos, you are a good teacher and nice guy. Best wishes for 2020, Cheers from Germany
@@tryp2261 iya bole tu ganti karna kalo terjadi putus d jalan bakal rumit nanti mesin nya. stiap 2 tahun sd 3 tahun ganti aj tali v belt nya. biar aman . Check jg bagian tensioner nya apakah ada kebocoran ??
@@GarasiFelixDan iya bang, utk vbelt nya trakhir ganti tahun lalu dg brand gates. Tp utk tensioner nya belum. Cek yg ori mazda mahal bgt diatas 2 jutaan. Mgkn bang Felix ada rekomendasi brand after market.
Welcome back Mr. Dan, been waiting for this service! Did you remove the spark plugs to make it easier to spin the crank pulley? Thought I read that little suggestion in the Mazda CX-5 service manual. Nice trick using an old rag to help remove the water pump belt. Another great video, thanks!
Thanks...gonna do this tomorrow on a 2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring 2.0. By the way, this is now 2021. Hello Earthlings and RUclips people from 2019/20! Great camera action. Awesome detail! UPDATE: The next day, still 2021. For those who do have the 2013 Mazda Touring 2.0 like i do, the part place said i needed a stretch belt for my water pump instead of the one used in this video. So, i bought one. Hissss....Little did i realize that i would ALSO need a #$?* stretch belt tool thinga'ma-jig! (e.g., Gates 91030 Micro-V Stretch Fit Installation Tool, Dayco Stretch Tool #93875, or OEMTOOLS Easy On Stretch Belt Installation Tool #24362). There is a slight possibility i may also use a few zip ties on the water pump pully side, but that's another story.
Thanks for the helpful video. One of my pulleys is making noise so I decided to replace them. Is it just the tensioner pulley I can replace? Are there any idler pulleys or anything? Thank you!
I write through a translator from the Russian language there may be inaccuracies in the translation. - Tell me when you turn the crankshaft key on 21, while the box is in the neutral position? or in the Parking position? I think it's important not to damage the valve??
It's the spoiler retention nuts backing off and eventually falling off because Mazda couldn't be bothered to apply thread lock. Just plug the rubber grommets off and fish around for the nuts...if you're lucky you can grab them.
I was going to pick up a Gates belt at Oreilys but they sell 2 kinds of belts. Stretch Fit which requires special tool. Do you know if the non stretch fit belt would be fine ? Mine is a 2015 Mazda CX-5 Touring 2.5l.
Hey, great video and brilliant camera work for a tight space. I have a diesel 2016 CX5 is it done the same way? I heard diesels have the water pump on the same belt? Thank you.
Thanks! Quick simple video gave me all the info i needed to fix my wifes car. Thanks!

it is okay if you need to adjust and rotate counter clockwise a little bit , just dont do it often it will wear out the bearings or piston rings out unevenly.
Perfect Video, thank you!
you r welcome 🙏🏼
Can you help bro pls
How i fix may mazda cx5 engine fan not working.. But when you switch on the aircon, the engine and radiator fan are both working. How to fix bro?

Can you post a video of replacing the actual water pump please on your Skyactiv engine please?

Good afternoon, I want to congratulate you on your excellent video, a consultation after installing the two belts, how it is synchronized or how many turns must be made to the main pulley so as not to lose the synchronization of the engine, thank you in advance ..
no problem ✌️. dont need to syncronize the engine.
@@GarasiFelixDan Very grateful for your answer, thank you
Outstanding video with straight to the point information. THANK YOU I'm replacing the alternator on a 2016 Mazda 3 with a 2.0L and this video is very helpful again thank you 😊
Cheers bro.
Hello Felix, is it enough to Change only the belts? You don't changed the belts tensioner?
yes definately . unless the tensioner pulley is worn out and leaky.
@@GarasiFelixDan ok, thanks. Greetings from Germany
Hey man, thanks making great tutorials on CX5 maintenance tips.
Could you do one for replacing/adding the stock horn as it only comes only with a single tone horn that sounds ridiculous? I was considering to replace it myself, but no vids i could find on YT. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks man!
No worries will do once times allows. Cheers sir.
@@GarasiFelixDan Looking forward 👍
@@bangjopi7643 cheers. Dont forget to subscribe and hit the notif bell for us ya Bang Jopi :)
There are some guides on mazda3revolution on how to do this. You can replace the stock with two upgraded horns, you just need to splice into wiring for 12V horn signal and then ground to metal for negative.
Hi, when you replace the belts do you need to replace the tensioner? In the video you only replaced the belt. Could not find much info. Thanks. Nice video.
the tensioner pulley dont need to be replace if not leaky. unless yours is leaking oil then must replace it.
Great Video! Do you know if a 2012 Mazda CX-5 2.0 has only one belt or also 2 as you show in this video? Thank you ✌🏻
should be the same as this engine. they have 2 pcs of belts.
@@GarasiFelixDanindeed. Just saw them myself now looking under the enginge with a torch. My Mazda dealer told me they need to be replaced. But to me they look fine. Just like yours. Even though they are 12 years old by now probably. What is your opinion?
@@Guidolino1234 if they are still in good cond and shows no visible cracks / chirping noise dont worry about it. Can always change it for next time.
@@GarasiFelixDan no noise, and no visible cracks! (it also writes "Made in France" on the smaller belt as did on yours) I have the AWD 160Hp. I love the car! Bought it used in 2021 with 92k km. Now it has 135k km on it. Driving it in central Europe, where I live. The Mazda technician also told me that allegedly the oil pan was rusty/leaky and needs replacement. Not sure if I should believe him and whether he just wants me to get expensive stuff done by him (500 to 600€! Accordingly). I read that this issue is rather unusual for CX-5, mostly concerning Mazda 2. Either way, thanks for all your help and fantastic videos Felix.
@@Guidolino1234 you r welcome sir. perhaps for that oil pan get it wash with dish soap and trace for any oil leaks , it could be simple as oil drain plug gasket.
Manual rotation of a shaft - is it better to have gearbox in N or D or P?
Does it matter whether hand break is engaged or not?
Thanks
put it on Neutral
Thank you
amigo esperando mas videos que nos prometiste,una pregunta cual es el codigo de la correa para el mazda cx 3?
debe ser igual que el CX 5, ¿tiene versión diesel o gasolina 2.0L?
@@GarasiFelixDan gasolina 2.0 con aire
@@pipediaz6631 Yes the part number is the same as this video in the description
Muchas gracia Félix muy buen video ,
¿Podrías subir un vídeo de cómo cambiar pastillas de frenos delanteras y traseras porfavor Para Mazda cx 3?
definitivamente lo haré en los videos futuros
@@GarasiFelixDan Félix esperando más vídeos de Mazda cx 3 ,como por ejemplo cambio de pastillas traseras con epb (freno eléctrico) y delanteras
@@pipediaz6631 El mio no tiene EPB. pero haré el frente
Hey I need to do this asap. Did you have to take off the tire to get under there? Thanks
Yeah preffer take out the wheel so you can have more rooms for fiddle around.
Thank you so much.
@@stanleysurin6943 welcome 🙏🏼
Excellent video. Just one comment, is it necessary to let the rag travel around the water pump pulley? I was concerned it might get stuck making the job harder. How about using the rag to pull on bottom part of the belt for half revolution and before it gets swallowed by pump pulley put it on top part of belt and pull. Keep alternating.
Thank you & very Welcome RC :) yes that is correct lucky enough i didnt get the rag stuck up there Pheeeww..., for the next time doing this part of water pump belt im going to get one extra person to rotate the crank pulley for me and other person would pull the drive belt with the rag ,so it would be done easier in one shot :) its just that my other hand didn't have enough power to pull it in one round whilst the other hand turning the crank pulley :D.
@@GarasiFelixDan If you don't want to keep the the old belt you can cut them. Removing the water belt seems to be the hardest part. Thanks Dan for your videos, you are a good teacher and nice guy.
Best wishes for 2020, Cheers from Germany
@@tomtom3533 You r welcome sir. Wish you n family a Happy new year . :)
@@tomtom3533 I was gonna suggest that lol.
Bang Felix, do you have recommendation for Belt tensioner brand after market? The original mazda is too expensive.
definately theres alternative brand . Bando belts or Gates belts.
Bang Felix blm pernah ganti ya? Kata mekanik punya saya udh mesti ganti, udh sering muncul suara berdecit
@@tryp2261 iya bole tu ganti karna kalo terjadi putus d jalan bakal rumit nanti mesin nya. stiap 2 tahun sd 3 tahun ganti aj tali v belt nya. biar aman . Check jg bagian tensioner nya apakah ada kebocoran ??
@@GarasiFelixDan iya bang, utk vbelt nya trakhir ganti tahun lalu dg brand gates.
Tp utk tensioner nya belum. Cek yg ori mazda mahal bgt diatas 2 jutaan. Mgkn bang Felix ada rekomendasi brand after market.
@@tryp2261 kalo part tensioner supaya tdk kerja 2 kali karna dia berbentuk hydraulic. sy rekomen ganti yg asli mazda.
Buena noche, es el mismo procedimiento para un mazda 3 2.5, año 2015?
Si, es lo mismo
Welcome back Mr. Dan, been waiting for this service! Did you remove the spark plugs to make it easier to spin the crank pulley? Thought I read that little suggestion in the Mazda CX-5 service manual. Nice trick using an old rag to help remove the water pump belt. Another great video, thanks!
In this video i didnt remove the sparkplug . But i recommend doing it as it was very heavy when i turned the crank pulley . Hehe :)
Oooh!
I like the idea of removing the plugs.
I'd recommend removing the spark plugs after smashing my fingers several times rotating the crank.
@@JetJockFI how many? all of them?
@@Nonstopboi07 Yes, all of them, so none of the piston will build up any compression.
Thanks...gonna do this tomorrow on a 2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring 2.0. By the way, this is now 2021. Hello Earthlings and RUclips people from 2019/20! Great camera action. Awesome detail! UPDATE: The next day, still 2021. For those who do have the 2013 Mazda Touring 2.0 like i do, the part place said i needed a stretch belt for my water pump instead of the one used in this video. So, i bought one. Hissss....Little did i realize that i would ALSO need a #$?* stretch belt tool thinga'ma-jig! (e.g., Gates 91030 Micro-V Stretch Fit Installation Tool, Dayco Stretch Tool #93875, or OEMTOOLS Easy On Stretch Belt Installation Tool
#24362). There is a slight possibility i may also use a few zip ties on the water pump pully side, but that's another story.
👍👍👍 Thanks very much appreciated.
Thanks for the helpful video. One of my pulleys is making noise so I decided to replace them. Is it just the tensioner pulley I can replace? Are there any idler pulleys or anything? Thank you!
@@kingcrumpet you r welcome . Yeap theres tensioner pulley assy replacement part for this car.
When need I change the belt ? TY for video =)
should check it every 80k kms or 4 years or so.
I write through a translator from the Russian language there may be inaccuracies in the translation. - Tell me when you turn the crankshaft key on 21, while the box is in the neutral position? or in the Parking position? I think it's important not to damage the valve??
Gear in N position. Hand brake UP
@@GarasiFelixDan спасибо очень помогли.thank you very much.
Hey Dan, may I know what's the interval or any symptoms / noise I should take note to replace the belts?
I would recommend replacing the belts every 80K kms / 5 years. Or if you car has squeeky noise on a start up cold.
Can you please show us how to remove and fix the rattling noise on the spoilers. Thanks!
It's the spoiler retention nuts backing off and eventually falling off because Mazda couldn't be bothered to apply thread lock. Just plug the rubber grommets off and fish around for the nuts...if you're lucky you can grab them.
What kind of marker did you use to mark the date on the belt?
just a regular paint marker pen .. if you dont have maybe use a correction pen white marker ? its not going to last though..
Thank you Felix Dan! Great instructions, like your other videos. One question - how many kilometers/ miles did your belts have when you replaced them?
no problemo. this video was at 34000kms.
@@GarasiFelixDan Wow. That's way too early to change belts. I have 200k on the original belts - 10 years.
@@gfriedman99 its alright, just want to keep up with the maintenance.
Should I disconnect the battery or does it not matter?
Yes better be safe , i recommend to disconnect the battery.
I was going to pick up a Gates belt at Oreilys but they sell 2 kinds of belts. Stretch Fit which requires special tool. Do you know if the non stretch fit belt would be fine ? Mine is a 2015 Mazda CX-5 Touring 2.5l.
should be no problems
How much space did you have when you used the 17 millimeter wrench to loosen the pulley? Would a ratchet work to loosen the same bolt?
i think its going to be hard and wont fit if you are using a ratchet to loosen the tensioner because the space is pretty tight.
I appreciate you reaching out 🙏
Keep making videos , especially on the Mazda 3 💪
Take care.
@@Barrackscuts No problems 😀
Hey, great video and brilliant camera work for a tight space. I have a diesel 2016 CX5 is it done the same way? I heard diesels have the water pump on the same belt? Thank you.
Yes it should be very similar design. Thanks man inappreciate that :) 👍
Excellent Video ❤
Thank you . Very much appreciate it.
