to anyone doing this with the engine actually in the car. you need to make sure the belt size is EXACTLY and I mean EXACTLY the same length as the OEM one you take off. chances are you ordered the WRONG belt even though you think you ordered the right one. so triple check the length. For this configuration, even a 5mm difference will make it impossible to put the new belt on. secondly, DO NOT try to release the tension from the bottom. There is simply not enough room AND you can actually destroy the tensioner. it needs to be released from the top clockwise because it will pull the tensioner UP at the same time. doing it from the bottom from the right side just pushes it to the left. I used a 14 mm wrench and a belt extension tool for leverage. you will need as much rotation as possible - all the way until the tool hits the engine mount. just watch out for the AC line. also use the wider pulley at the top without the teeth that is closer to the front (not the idler pulley) to slip the belt on. hope that helps.
Every manufacturer of belts has a different size. Look it up. Continental 90.5 // AC Delco 91// Duralast 91.11// Valucraft 90.55. Make sure youre getting the right size!
Hi there, thank you for your excellent instructions. I have a 2010 CX7 2.2L turbo diesel 6 speed manual. Is the serpentine belt configuration the same?
Hey are you using a 6pk2315 belt? I am in Australia. Gates listed 6pk2285 but it's way too short. Dayco listed 6pk2290 for an auto and 6pk2315 for manual transmission.
hi there. thanks for all these helpful video. Does the CX7 have a recurrent misfire problem? i have a misfire on cylinder #3 that i can not fix. not the coils and spark plugs, not the valve cover gasket. i am left with compression and injectors. compression i found is as follow #1- 160; #2-160; #3-125 (the misfiring cylinder) nd #4-160PSI. what do you think? any suggestion? do you have a video on the injectors? before i conclude the piston needs to be replaced, i need to check the injector on #3. thanks for reading
I can help you with this problem , pull out all the spark plugs and inspect the porcelain, when the porcelain cracks, you get a code and the engine will misfire, 2nd the coils also can give you a misfire , I have changed the plugs uredinium 3 times on my Mazda cx-7
thank you for your time to make this video. However, the issue shown that he had a hard time trying to put the belt on is a noob technique. you shouldn't try to put the belt on the toothed wheel since it has a lip it's harder to over come it, instead all you gotta do Is slide the piece of the belt on any of the non toothed pulleys that's how you make that installation easy peasy.
I had the idler pulley bolt break, pulley came off but I'm pretty sure part of the bolt is still in there. Anyone know if it can be removed from the back end by removing the alternator?
I am trying to put a new belt on but even after releasing the tension all the way I cannot get the belt on. It looks like I still need it to release another 1/4 inch. Any tips
Agreed - anyone can do it out of the car - the real problem is how to access one of the worst designed engine car combo of all time - without removing the engine first.
You can get it off!!!! Hahahahaha..... here as I'm struggling to get the new one on. Lol... Seriously though, for extra room I have pulled the intercooler off and removed the RHS engine mount (jack holding engine up). New belt is bloody tight fit though!!!!!!!!!

2 years later and you're still helping people, I appreciate you dawg 🙏
I just removed the motor mount (4) 17mm bolts/nuts. Took 2 minutes and gave me ample swing room
this comment is more useful than the video lol
finally someone who shows you what you need to know and how simple it is to do.
Def. not simple
keep cx7 videos coming good job
Hi there, thank you for your excellent instructions. I have a 2010 CX7 2.2L turbo diesel 6 speed manual. Is the serpentine belt configuration the same?
Thinking about buying a 2008 2.3 cx7… what should I expect about reliability ? Thanks !!
Hey are you using a 6pk2315 belt?
I am in Australia. Gates listed 6pk2285 but it's way too short. Dayco listed 6pk2290 for an auto and 6pk2315 for manual transmission.
Great video thanks what can I do if my ac is not working and the pulley is not turning??
hi there. thanks for all these helpful video.
Does the CX7 have a recurrent misfire problem?
i have a misfire on cylinder #3 that i can not fix.
not the coils and spark plugs, not the valve cover gasket. i am left with compression and injectors.
compression i found is as follow
#1- 160; #2-160; #3-125 (the misfiring cylinder) nd #4-160PSI.
what do you think? any suggestion?
do you have a video on the injectors? before i conclude the piston needs to be replaced, i need to check the injector on #3.
thanks for reading

importworx not is not... specially in this vehicle.... the issue is Mazda poor engineering and wrong belt lengths fabrication.
How many teeth is this belt? How do I give specications if I want to order it?
Can you do a how to clean the EGR valve on the cx7
I had the idler pulley bolt break, pulley came off but I'm pretty sure part of the bolt is still in there. Anyone know if it can be removed from the back end by removing the alternator?
You can make a video about the front differential of the mazda cx7 2.3
Muchas gracias por la información
I am trying to put a new belt on but even after releasing the tension all the way I cannot get the belt on. It looks like I still need it to release another 1/4 inch. Any tips
Having that problem now 🤦🏽♀️ PLSSSS any answers for me?
Thanks for saving me $$$$$$
Please what's the belt number sir?
I wonder to became a mechanic when I see all those gold signet rings and watches.
muy bueno el video, me salvo el tiempo
Thank you
Details of this belt please
Thank you!
I'd rather see it done while engine is in vehicle more realistic... Knowing what we needed to maneuver around when it's in the car
Exactly. This video is (unfortunately) worthless to me.
Agreed - anyone can do it out of the car - the real problem is how to access one of the worst designed engine car combo of all time - without removing the engine first.
please what's the belt specification number
.
Hell of a lot easier to put on when the engine is out. Hell i'm having a hard time putting it back in the damn car.
I have the same problem. I have the tensioner loos all the way and still; the belt is far from getting in.
I ended up taking the motor mount off and was easier.....
Thnku sir
Can someone please tell me the belt number?
LOL Wait so we need to take the engine completely out of the car to put the serpentine belt on?
Hold the camera still
Yep it's easy when it's not in the car bro
Can you do this without taking the engine out lol haha
You can get it off!!!! Hahahahaha..... here as I'm struggling to get the new one on. Lol...
Seriously though, for extra room I have pulled the intercooler off and removed the RHS engine mount (jack holding engine up). New belt is bloody tight fit though!!!!!!!!!
@@dwaynE2099 hahaha I had a struggle to put it back on but I it’s back on haha
@@iowafishing1013 got mine back together too... tougher job than expected!
Easiest off the water pump
