Most difficult task... Installing the dang power steering pump/bolts... Great videos John, mine was a success. thanks for the virtual help!
Great video series! 5 years later and still the best video's for this project! I did the water pump and timing chain set on a 2013 CX-9, very small changes for the 2013 since your video came out, such as the timing chain is a inverted tooth chain. Very much appreciate all the tool tips, access issues, torque specs and part numbers as I followed along doing the job. Thank you!
Love your work has helped us heaps. Was hoping to hear the car start tho hahaha
Excellent video series John! I did the job, no hiccups. with the exception of the few access problems and a few expletives, especially when putting the power steering pump back on...I got it done. I gotta tell ya this job was a bitch! I've been working on my own cars for 40 yrs and I have a lift and lots of tools. I'm 55 yrs old and in pretty good shape for my age. This is up there with the worst of them. If somebody just has basic hand tools, this job is not reccomended. I used a battery powered ratchet on a lot of stuff which was a major time saver. and also the car lift saved a lot of crawling around, but there still was a lot of crawling around. I'd say I got about 20 hrs in it total. Now I know why the dealers take the motor and tranny out. It's gotta be easier than doing it in the car. I could have done it without these videos but it probably would have taken me twice as long and a few heartaches along the way. If nothing else, your videos lend a lot of moral support... Thanks again man.
That darn pump! What a pain in the butt!
Watched the whole series since my wife has a CX7, the CX9's little brother. I'm infinitely wowed by your wisdom, can do attitude, and endless patience. Suffice it to say, I'd never undertake this project since I'm quite challenged in the patience department but kudos to you good sir for demonstrating that it can be done :) . Great series of videos :) ! I've viewed several of your other videos and it was a complete no brainer ... I HAD to subscribe :) ! Thanks again for sharing these.
Thank you sir. I watched all 4 videos before starting to work onmy wife's CX9. You saved me a lot of time and headache, and I am not going to start the work and just going to put the ordered parts on ebay.
I've serviced my E46 M54 engine, and I thought that was difficult. Now I realize the level of difficulty was nowhere near of CX-9's. Thank you again.
I have watched all 4 videos. For, a couple of days now. Tomorrow, I will start on my son's 2012 Mazda CX 9. With the same problem. Everything looks good. I am capable of doing the job. What worries me a little is those power steering bolts. I am not going to replace the pump. But, to lose the bolts only to get that cover bolt. Also, the harmonic balancer bolt is a little worry, too. But, the job will get done. Even if it takes me a month. For, it has been sitting for 6 months. I thought that the engine was a rotary engine. Which, I know nothing about them. But, I ran into your video and it surprised me that it was a piston engine. Which, I know about them. My son is happy that I am going to fix it. Because he still paying this crappy car. Thank you, for those videos.
The crank bolt is a somewhat oddball M12x1.50. I lucked out and had an old Cologne 2.9 from a Ranger sitting around, and that crank bolt happens to be the same thread pitch but longer than the 3.5 bolt.
Using the 2.9 bolt and the thrust bearing from the inexpensive power steering pulley installer kits coupled with stacks of 7/16" Gr8 washers I was able to install the crank pulley/harmonic balancer
This series was a big help, thank you!
thank you for taking the time and posting these excellent videos!!!
You should have a way to donate on this videos. I'd love to through you a few bucks for being so helpful!
Wow, thank you!
Thanks you so much for you time,and extraordinary videos,you are the best all 4 Videos are excelente,👍👍👍🙏
So nice of you
Your video series was amazing and got me start to finish. my timing got messed up on the right bank. Initially when I was attempting to take off the harmonic balancer bolt, my R1 camshaft rotated an unknown number of times. I tried to rest as best I could but when I got it all assembled it threw the code for that position. Also would not stay running. When I broke everything back down my main chain was still in the correct position but all 4 cams were flipped 180 with the alignment marks facing down. Like an inexperienced person I figured if the main chain was set all I had to do was to remove the cams and flip them back into position. My left side went in and set right, but both right side are not setting in. Any advice to keep me from breaking the valves?
GREAT video- I've been following along while I change the pump in my daughter's CX9 and your videos have been EXTREMELY helpful.
I am getting ready to reassemble but I do have a few of questions for you or anyone else that has done this job...
1. While removing the right-side cam/valve chain and sprockets the cam lock tool popped out and the camshaft moved. I was able to rotate it back to TDC but am concerned that I may have caused some damage or messed up the timing. I am ok considering I was able to rotate it back to TDC? I am afraid to reattempt the procedure and am tempted to just leave the old chain and guides in place since they actually don't look too bad. Any thoughts or considerations?
2. I may have missed it- but what gasket maker did you use for timing cover? Guy at auto parts store said Mazda recommends Permatex Ultra Gray
3. How did you go about cleaning out the oil pan considering antifreeze is now mixed in. I was planning on dropping the pan and cleaning it out but considering its not all that straight-forward I was thinking before I install the timing cover, I might just drain the oil and using a hand pump to remove as much as oil/fluid possible and hand clean as best I can without removal and reinstalling.
Thanks...
Thanks a million for such helpful videos. They are so detailed and well videoed.
I have a cx9 awd 2015 with 170,000 km on it, and I hope I will never need to replace the water pump.
Do u I should change it soon regardless of the its condition.?
Abdulsalam Alreshidi absolutely, it’s time
@@JohnCanFixAnything thanks again
This last video shows the Power Steering Pump installation. A very difficult installation so be patient. It can be very frustrating.
How much is chargerd for this job?
John - thanks for taking the time to make these videos! I would never have entertained this job if not for the high quality of your work. Quick question - what year/trim kit is the CX-9 and would their be any differences with a 2014 CX-9 Sport (A-Code VIN)? Any insight is much appreciated!
2014 Is right on the line for changes. Mine was a 2007 Grand Sport front wheel drive. Most all are now AWD and I have not worked on one of those.
@@JohnCanFixAnything John - this one is front wheel drive also - my research showed no changes to the drive train from 2008 - 2015, hopefully it will be the same - thanks again!
Excellent videos, thank you for sharing. Have you had to change the radiator yet? I’m currently preparing to change my radiator, thermostat and all the hoses on a 2010 Mazda CX-9
Great video, thanks for your help. When did you put the serpentine belt back in? Mine can't go back in even after loosening the tensioner
@@xangdude mine went on last with no issues
@@JohnCanFixAnything thanks John! I had a mobile mechanic drop by and installed it for me for $175. It was the only thing I could not do myself lol
Did I miss the parts list? I thought that it was going to be provided for the kit you used- awesome video-
It's in the remarks on video 1
hello ive been following your videos to replace a waterpump, and on my aunts maxda cx 9 i was wondering how do you flush the oil system, becaus the coolant has been leaking into it,
You will need to removed the oil pan, filter and housing to really get it cleaned properly.
Very informative thanks for sharing your knowledge.
In what mileage intervals should the waterpump be replaced, under normal use?
Thanks for the words of encouragement.
@@JohnCanFixAnything What is your suggestion in terms mileage intervals for replacement of the water pump, under normal use?
@@ozargafarov4448 I would start watching it after 100,000 miles.
I saw that these pumps have two layers of gaskets, when the first one fails coolant starts squirting onto the backside of the alternator when engine is running. That's one of the ways you can tell it is time to replace the pump.
how did you get the power steering belt on after you put the pully back on
I bought the little slide on tool at Autozone but it did not work. I ended up taking two zip ties and tying it onto the pulley. I then turned the engine over with a breaker bar until it slipped on. Then I cut the zip ties off.
Does anyone know if the CVS seal
Is the same as the spark plug seals on the valve cover?
When I try to turn the motor by hand it will turn approximately 140 degrees and just stops. What is the best prognosis you can give me?
Sounds like you did not have the timing point lined up when you set the chain.
How much you for all parts I am gone do it my first time in Mazda so I do it’s one time to my Infiniti G35 2007 thanks for the excellent video.
Right at $500.00
Hi John. Can you send me a copy of the schematic paperwork you were showing in your video series or can you point me in the direction of where I can obtain this? Thanks!
I use www.ALLDATADIY.com
Did this work I’m having the same problem my mechanic said that it may not be worth it. Due to antifreeze in the engine. The bearings in the engine will fail is this true
It works just fine but if you are paying a mechanic then I would think twice. How many miles are on the vehicle. What is it worth right now. etc. If you have antifreeze in the oil then your engine's days are numbered. Antifreeze will quickly breakdown the oil's ability to protect the internal engine parts.
Wondering if CX9 3.7 and MKS 3.7 are interchangeable. Any idea?
Yes, many are interchangeable
how many total hours for a job like this?
It takes about 5 hours of you work straight through. I took a couple days.
What make a power steering belt come off a CX-9 Mazda
Nothing that i know of. It is a fixe belt with no adjustments.
How much is this project with parts and labor
Hello John,
Thank you very much for the video .
I have a question:
What is the best timing chain kit for the 2011 Mazda CX 9?
This is the one I used. amzn.to/3fYoRks
@@JohnCanFixAnything Thank you very much.
I bought the Melling kit from RA. The chain guide which just slips on was identical to the OEM Motorcraft, to the point where the Motorcraft emblem and Ford part # had been ground off by hand (Dorman does this, too, with upper intakes/plenums). So, either Melling was purchasing Ford overstock or they OEM for Ford. FWIW
Mazda is the worse car you can buy ever
Ford would be the worst
