Thank you for the best tutorial I found for this job. After struggling all afternoon with no success, I found(as per your instructions) that removing the p/s pump was the only way to get the room I needed to install the new belt around the pulleys...
Nice video. No need to remove the pump, but goes give a little more access. GATES Part Numbers. 2006 CRV is K070683 (6:17 in video); 2007 CRV belt is different (different body style). GATES K070690. On the Gates Belt: K070683 means a serpentine 7 rib belt, effective length is 68.3" Irony Amazon still list the wrong belts. I like Gates Quality, but no one stocks them locally.
Thanks for the helpful video. I wasn’t able to install the new belt without removing the right front wheel and the plastic shield inside the wheel well. I also had to remove the p/s reservoir to compress the tensioner during installation. Still, the job took about two hours. Not a bad way to spend a rainy afternoon.
Ugh. Your new belt slipped on so easily. I had to try to do this job on the side of the highway to avoid a $200 towing fee after my belt snapped. Guessing the belt AutoZone gave me was too short because even with the tensioner fully pulled back the belt would not fit over the PS pully.
I️ need to bypass my AC compressor when I️ do this and I️ don’t know what size belt to use. It’s 2005 Honda CRV and what was suggested to me was 55.5 inch but the closest I️ can find to that 61 inch. Do you think that would still work or too that it would be too long?
No.....just the p.s. resivoir.one or two hoses have to be taken off.hold resivoir upward so fluid dosnt run out.its easy after uou do it.no need to worry. Theres a lot more vids on you tube on how to.just keep watching them. Thats how i learned.
I find myself trying to avoid taking parts off for clearance or access and wind up wasting time rather than making steady progress. It only took you a few minutes to get the power steering pump off and gave you much easier access.
2002 Honda CR-V. So I removed the tensioner pulley, due to noisy bearing. My problem is now the pulley bolt won’t thread into the hole it came out off... strange. I tried threading the bolt back in without pulley, and there are no threads in that hole!!! Wtf?!?! So I came back here to double check everything, and it all looks fine, identical to what I’m seeing here: the 14mm bolt, the washer, the way the new pulley goes back on. Q: could there be anything else I’m missing? What could be keeping my pulley bolt from threading in? Thanks in advance.
Babambo Atata were you able to figure it out?? That's very weird, the only reason I can think of is that your putting the wrong bolt back in? Can you get a phone camera down in there to confirm no threads? I can't imagine threads or stripped out by removing a bolt... (you weren't turning wrong way right?)
The nut for that bolt just sits in a nut-shaped hole in the back of the housing. When you took the tensioner out, the nut fell out of the hole. Find it, put it back in the hole, and tape over the hole with duct tape. I got lucky and saw mine lying there. When you start the bolt, just be careful not to push it out the back.
suggestion: when showing people how they can do mechanical work, it'll save them a lot of time if you say exactly what size wrench you are using rather than just "a wrench"

Loved your diagram explaining the position of crank, ac, water pump, alternator & ps pump... Thanks for the info..
Yah man!
You showed more of the details than the other folks' videos. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
You can put the closed end of another wrench on the end of the wrench you're using to extend it and get more leverage.
Good tip.
I did not need to remove the ps pulley however I did remove the passenger wheel to help with routing under the bottom pulleys.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad to hear you finally succeeded.:)
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND EXPLANATION, I FOLLOWED YOUR ENTIRE VIDEO AND MY REPLACEMENT WENT EASY AND SMOOTH!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

👍👍👍 my dads 82 still going. I’m 59. Hope I can follow yalls example
Nice video. No need to remove the pump, but goes give a little more access.

Glad you were able to complete it!
Passenger wheel. Right/left can be confusing depending on where you look at it from.
I also had to remove the passenger wheel well to route the belt which took 10min, struggling to route the belt from the top took longer than 25min.
The only video to put the belt on without having to jack it up and remove the tire 👍 was so easy to tuck the belt in
You can route the belt from the top to bottom onto the crank pulley, I did that recently on my mother's Honda Accord Euro.
Thank you kind sir! This really helped me out this morning.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the time and effort to make this video and all the info. From uk
FYI, another wrench would work much better than a hammer 😂 goof job tho
good video . thanks dude !
Nice video! Can you tighten a loose belt without removing anything?
Nice video. Good work!
Nice thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍

how do you keep the wrench from falling off the bolt when pulling?? Mine keeps slipping off

What size wrench did you use??
14mm
I'm having difficulty installing my belt... do you really have to remove the power steering to gained more slack to loop the belt on? Please help!
Lebron Jordan yes you will need to! It's not too hard to do though!

Dude you dont have to take the power steering pump off,you might as well change the tensioner since you did but anyways i give you a C-
well ima try your hammer on the wrench method ..i dont see that working but here we go
great job.

If you wanna remove the tenshioner. First you hold engine with jackstand and gotta remove the side engine mount first.
The nut for that bolt just sits in a nut-shaped hole in the back of the housing. When you took the tensioner out, the nut fell out of the hole. Find it, put it back in the hole, and tape over the hole with duct tape. I got lucky and saw mine lying there. When you start the bolt, just be careful not to push it out the back.
@@doda7443 Probably. It just sits in a fitted hole in the back. Mine fell right out, too.
thankyou !!

Google is your friend to. Your suggestion doesn't mean anything.
5:45 he says 14mm
2005 Honda crv belt number?
haha 6:01 u whip the pipe out
Never Never Put Your Finger When U Pulling The Tensloner Poley Use A Flat Screw Driver Or U Ended Up With Out Fingers My Friend 😂😂😂😂😂😂🪛🪛🪛🪛🪛
