Acura TL (Honda Accord V6) Timing Belt, Water Pump, & Pulleys Replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 май 2019
- This timing belt replacement video provides you step-by-step instructions on performing a schedule belt replacement service on the the Honda J32 V6 engine commonly found in the Accord and Acura TL. The service interval is 105K miles or 8 years; which ever comes first. In addition to the belt replacement, we will be replacing, as part of preventative maintenance, the water pump and guide and tensioner pulleys. Other Honda vehicles that share this V6 engine configuration are the MDX, RDX, RL, RLX, Crosstour, Odyssey, Pilot, Vue and Ridgeline. The J32 timing belt component kit can also be used on the J35.
Unless you have a powered impact tool used with 19 mm high mass impact socket, removing the harmonic balancer bolt is next to impossible. Honda crank pulley holders don't work either. I actually bent one.
The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts providers for the timing belt components are Mitsuboshi (timing belt), Aisin (water pump), Koyo (idler and tensioner bearings). If you obtain a timing belt kit from the dealer, the parts in their kit are provided by these manufacturers.
If you have no prior experience replacing a timing belt, expect to spend anywhere between 6 to 8 hours to complete the job.
Replacement of the water pump will release coolant from the engine block. This would be a good time to change out the coolant from the radiator which would constitute a complete fluid exchange.

Hats off to you sir. This format of instructional video is perfect. No blabbering bs constantly. Very clear and quick. I normally speed up automotive videos and skip forward but not once did i have to do this with your video. Thankyou
On my channel I film my mechanical repairs. I'm getting ready to install a water pump on this same car. I searched youtube to see if anyone else has made any good videos? Sometimes I'll find either no videos or really bad videos that helps me decide if I should take the time to make a video. In this case there is no reason for me to upload a video. You did an excellent job on your video that I would just be wasting my time. Great job!
Just finished my first water pump/timing belt on a 2000 Base TL. Although there are a few slight differences ( the 2000 is 2nd generation, '04 TL is 3rd. Small details like 2 drive belts instead of one, no bolt on "keeper" around crankshaft timing cog, etc.)
Torque specifications are very important. Furthermore, you should always ensure the timing belt is installed correctly by rotating the engine with a breaker bar twice. if your marks still line up after those two revolutions then finish putting it back together. if not then your still out of time even if it is only a single tooth this will cause damage to the engine if you dont ensure its lined up Correctly. Other than these two things you did an outstanding job. Master tech here. 35 years exp.
Thank you! I didn't even notice that 15 minutes had elapsed and the tutorial video was over. This is the first youtube vid I did not skip ahead or have to go back and watch again, or check to see how much more time there was. Your video was spot on, easy to follow, hear clearly and understand. No time for the mind to wander. hahahaha. After watching, I can definitely do this with full confidence. I have all the tools to do the job too and know my bolt sizes too. BTW, I bet it took you longer to edit and master this tutorial video than it did actually doing the job. You Rock. Cheers!
This is the best video on a timing belt job on RUclips. Hands 🤚🏻 down!
This is a high quality video. The content is very detailed. The camera angles give you a great view of the work being done and the lighting really allows you to see the parts that he is describing. Very helpful!!!
This video deserves way more likes. No bs just straight to the point. The quality and simplicity are beyond 👌
FANTASTIC video - best I've seen in a long time. Quick, clear, fast forwarded exactly when needed and freeze-frame with arrows when needed. PERFECT. Can't wait to get cracking on my new-to-me 04 TL!
There's a few things I would have done differently but that's because I'm picky. With that said, I think this is a perfect example of a how to video. No BS, no ridiculously drawn out intro. You did a fine job sir thank you for the video.
Nice work man. You make it look easy . Received all my OEM water pump kit and misc stuff to do this job today on my wife’s car. So glad I found your video.
Great video! This is how a video on how to do it be. Cut the BS and straight for it with details! Once again nice job
My coworker who's been working on cars for 30 years told me about the paint marker tip. My first one is tomorrow on one of these. Great video.
My 2000 acura 3.2 tl is at 345,056 miles... Everytime I need to replace my water pump/timing components I always go back to this video to refresh my memory...EXCELLENT WALK-THROUGH.
Been debating on buying or not buying a TL because I would have to change the timing belt right after purchasing it... This video has made me more confident that I could do the service myself. Great video!!!!!!!!
Seriously great straight forward video made a hard job look very easy just time consuming but this is a life saver I've prolly got to do this soon
Thank you for the instructional video. I am not mechanic, but, this enhances my appreciation for those with the mechanical skill and aptitude to handle this installation.
Just did this on wifes Honda pilot and I learned a couple new course words doing the timing belt. Great job! Oh and I had to do the breaker bar and bump the starter a few times to get crank bolt loose. It was laughing at me.
Just successfully did the timing belt, bearings, and water pump on my 2002 Honda Accord V6! I would never have felt remotely confident enough to try it, had I not found this amazing video first! I had a few issues: the harmonic balancer bolt was dead-locked. I was even prepared with the exact high-mass impact socket attached to my heavy duty 1/2" impact...and it wouldn't budge at all. I eventually had to employ the bump start method to get it off. Highly stressful, but it worked on the 2nd try! The other issue I had was that my tensioner was a different design from the one you re-used in the video. Instead of a pin, mine comes with this ridiculous "clip" over the ends, compressing the whole thing together. But the spot where it goes was so tight, as soon as I got it down there it came off. At that point I thought I was totally screwed. After over an hour working on it, a buddy of mine comes over and we discover(using the old tensioner) that you can not use a vise to get it compressed again. You have to remove the nut on the back end and use a flat head screw driver to back up the tensioner to get the clip on. I then zip tied the clip on and after a long struggle I was finally able to get it bolted down. I had to thread in the top bolt on the tensioner and then use every bit of strength I had in me to push the tensioner bearing up so that I could force the tensioner in place and thread in the lower bolt...it was definitely the toughest part of the whole job! I also replaced the 2 other drive belts. I've never done a job this complicated and having your video in the garage with me was a life saver. After all parts were in and engine was ready, she started up on a dime and I took a 20 minute drive on freeway. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE INCREDIBLE VIDEOS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO SIR!!! I wish you sooooooo much health, happiness, and abundance. Please reply if anyone reading this has any questions for me about my specific vehicle or whatever, I will check periodically. Oh, and I'm now a faithful subscriber. Mazel Tov, it's a boy!
Possibly the best automotive how to vid I've ever watched. Thanks for all the info and tricks.
