Very helpful. I just replaced the belt on our 2006 MDX. Took about 20 minutes, with about 15 of those trying to get the belt back on. Use a 14mm socket for the tensioner. Helps to have a breaker bar to extend the ratchet handle to get more leverage. And small hands help. :) I bought the belt on Amazon. The DIY saved me $100-200. Thank you.
Awesome to read comments like these. Please subscribe if you have not already.
Right I took my mdx for airbag recall to the dealer and they said I needed my belt replaced. He said $100 for the belt $100 for labor 🤦
Haze Santiago belt less than $30 at autozone
lezzz goooo
One thing I found that oftimes makes remounting the belt a little easier. Thread the belt around all of the proper pulleys EXCEPT the alternator pulley on top. Wrench the tensioner and then work the belt over the alternator pulley. This way you are not struggling with both arms in the recesses of the engine compartment.
Thanks for this video. The diagram of the pulleys alone made it worth watching.
This helped me alot on my Honda Pilot 06
great video thanks - a nice 'keep it simple' explanation
Try to get a continental elite belt (fomerly called "gatorback")
They usually are the choice for slightly offset pulley setups if the belt isn't tracking straight
Thanks for this info it was very helpful saved me a trip to the mechanic and $$

Thanks for awesone help i did replace on Acura mdx with your experience
Very nice! Thank you for watching!
I had a hard time with the serpentine belt. DON'T USE A 14MM DEEP SOCKET for the tensioner. When I used the deep socket, it interfered with the motor mount and didn't give enough slack to loop the belt over the tensioner.
He made it look so easy I have all the tool but it was hard to turn the tension 😅
Longer thin handle sure does help vs the standard ratchet one
What size of wrench you used?
it's 14mm. but you can also rent a belt tensioner tool that's narrow to reach in there and have longer handle to easily slip the belt on/off
pretty easy, thank you. Gotta be carful not to bust a knuckle like your installer did
Always be careful! Thanks for watching Fenton!
I have. None make noise, they all spin freely. What gets me is that it doesn't make the sound for a week or so after the repair. Took it to Honda yesterday, they said its just the belt. I'll try buying a Honda belt and see if that really makes the difference. Gates is a solid company, I'm not sure that is the issue.
Mines have two belts, this is not the one, it's the tension pulley I need help with and all these videos dont show how to do it on a 2001 Acura mdx
I agree. 2001 and 2002 models of this first generation MDX has a 2 belt system. Power steering adjustment bolt on the pump mount and it's 4 rib 438-440 length. A spring tensioner is for the alternator and air conditioning compressor is for the other belt 6 rib and 468-470 length
The 2nd power steering belt has a more traditional adjustment bolt.. must loosen the lock nut first, then adjust it all the way down until the slack is enough to slip it off the pulley
Please what is the number of the bet
I've replaced the tensioner (gates brand) and serp belt on my 06 pilot 2wd twice now, and I am still getting a chirping sound from the belt. It will go away for a week or two and then slowly come back. Any ideas on what to do?
Have you tried spinning any of the other accessories with the belt off to try and simulate the same sound?
There's been one mention about the two belts (01 previously mentioned and mine's is an 02)....is there a solution?
There is only one belt
+2CarPros On the 2002 model that I own there is 2...I'm not questioning your expert, but merely searching for a solution. Again I have two...one to power steering and another to the other accessories
I dint see one on this car, but its not to say there might be on similar models or design changes on other years.
You are correct, there's two belts for the 01-02 models. To remove the power steering belt, you have to remove the side engine mount bracket after you've supported the weight of the engine from under the car. I think the engine mount has 2 or 3 bolts if I remember correctly. The belt should now be easy to remove. This info may help others reading an old thread.
@@charlesholbert3076 goes off the engine and year of the vehicle, his doesnt state engine size or physicsl year. This process is not the same from 2000-2006 for the mdx
Tried to replace the belt on a 2010 MDX and my arm was too short to reach the big pulley in the back :(
+firecracker2009 Can you try from underneath the vehicle? Let me know how it goes. Maybe ask a buddy to help, this can be a tricky belt to change.
Is this the same for a 2007??
The body style change and they went from a 3.5 V6 to a 3.7 V6 but it is still the same process.
2CarPros Excellent, looks pretty simple….Besides the fact you need the arms of a skinny 8 year old to get in there. ;-) Thanks..
That is not right for a 2001 Acura mdx...separate belt for power steering
+Thomas Collins There was only one accessory drive belt on this model.
2carpros thats wrong there was 2 seperate belts on 01
@@2carpros My 2002 MDX also has two belts, PS is separate from AC and Alt.
Just show me a video of replacing the 3 belts in an Acura 1997
there was no mdx in 1997... what model are you searching for?
My 2001 Acura doesn’t match your video. That’s not helpful
