Awesome vid! I replaced mine without removing the wheel, just turned it all the way right. Also, was able to pull the tensioner with a regular 14mm combo wrench + a 1/2” ratchet plugged into the open end of the wrench.
Thank you so very much!!!! You just saved me =] I removed the belt with the tools you suggested since I thought I had bought a mountain wrench but apparently did not. Thank you again for your comment!!
This comment helped tremendously. I never would have thought to do that. The 1/2 inch drive fits perfectly in the 14mm wrench and gave me the leverage I needed!
Thank you for your helpful video on changing the serpentine belt. I just replaced the serpentine belt on my 2004 Honda CRV. I followed your directions, which are very good by the way, and got the belt off without too much of an issue. I did pull the two plastic keepers from the splash panel under the fender to give me more room to access the pulley and belt area. Putting the new belt back on was a little tricky, but I finally got it on. I referred back to your drawing of how the belt was routed. It was very helpful. I tried to put the belt on the top pulleys first and then install it around the crankshaft pulley last. It may have worked but that would have required another pair of hands (which I did not have) while another person was holding the tensioner. I verified that my new Gates belt was on all the pulleys correctly before starting the car. I took my time and spent a few hours doing this in the hot Florida sun, but I saved some money by doing it myself. Thanks again for posting your video. Good job!
I took my 2005 crv to honda smith, they said $150 for the new belt and $74 for the labor. I bought the part for $44 and this video helped me replace it. Took me about 45 minutes to do it. I didn’t need to remove the tire tho, it was accessible from the bottom.
THIS GUY DEFINITELY KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING ! THANK YOU !!!
Your video helped me so much, saved me hundreds in labor. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. The hardest part was trying to put the new serpentine belt in. Great video, and it saved me hundreds of dollars from paying a mechanic to do it.
Jay Cee Glad The video was helpful and you save some money. Very cool thank you for sharing and watching!
Nice, you made that look easy. Just bought a 2l crv and that belt looks very very worn, all cracked and stuff. Just gotta find me some of these tools now!
Man this was so helpful!!! I really appreciate you brother!!!
Thanks for the video! Just replaced mine today. Was away from home so didnt have any tool but after seeing the video I thought was easy so went to oreilly and borrowed the serpentine belt tool. This definitely is not the right tool! Whoever trying to do it yourself please do NOT use the open end wrench for the tensioner. you will end up damaging the bolt. Would highly recommend the 14mm mountain ratcheting wrench in the video. I didnt have it so I ended up using 14mm wrench with the box end to the tensioner end the open end connected to the 1/2" drive handle
Cuong Nguyen A regular wrench would not work. I was using a offset wrench that fits perfectly. Glad the video help you out though.
Thanks - your video helped me a lot! I appreciate you making it
Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
I will have to check out those wrenches they look awesome.
thanks for making this, so helpful!
Alex Langeveld you're welcome thank you for watching in writing!
Thank you for this video. I was able to save some money and do it myself thanks to you.
Thanks form the UK, really helpful
My crv was made in the UK, 250k miles 💪🏼
very very helpful !! thank you.
Thanks brother that helps me a lot
THANK YOU
Thanks for the vine..helpful.
Where can I buy one of those pick tools that you have?
Thank for information for me...
Thank for sharing.
Do you know when to change the whole timing belt kit?
Timing chain on this engine, not a belt. Theoretically a lifetime component but they do break from time to time, and sometimes the tensioners break, and then it's a real headache because it's an interference engine.
Thanks a bunch for this vid! I did the same on my 2005 CRV and I gotta admit it's such a pain in the a$$ to work on these vehicles... Whoever designed that little room for working on this belt should be fired immediately. Your vid doesn't show the power steering line running RIGHT against the tension pulley with 10mm bolt holding it in place. You HAVE TO remove that bolt and push the line down in order to get ANY room in there. That part took good 2 hours in my case. I did not have the tool you used for the pulley but I did have a Canadian Tire rental tool handy and it still sucked for such a tight spot. Re-installing the new belt was super easy but getting ready for it and re-tightening the power steering line took me about 3 hours.
Thanks again for the video!
Kiril Plehanov lol Poor engineer gets no respect. Glad the video helped out. Thank you very much for sharing! I have about 10 more videos on CRV repairs if you should ever need them. Here on the how to automotive RUclips channel and and about 450 more videos at my website www.howtoautomotive.com
I removed the motor mount to gain access, I was frustrated and running out of patience 🙃
great job.
Thank you!
Good vid :).
Thank you for watching and writing!
Awesome video
Thank you!
@@HowtoAutomotive no thank you so much for sharing so so helpful Gracias amigo
14mm boxed end on tensioner pulley and then a larger wrench ,17 on up, using its boxed end. Place box end onto the 14mm open end. Now you have leverage. Now take belt off.
To put on route the belt and route it to were the last part to slip on is the power steering pump. Pull PS reservior foward, put wrench on tensioner, then while holding belt, slip reservior over wrench to the rear. Gonna be inbetween the hoses with the wrench. Next pull your wrench lever and start it on the PS pulley and then with a screw driver use the pulley's holes to pry the belt on all while rotating the pulley by hand down on the last bit and it will guide itself on.
Which pick tool was that? It looks pretty neat to route serpentine belts
What engine does this car come with ?
I prefer when doing this togo from top to bottm, then use the wrench from the bottom to de-tension and move the belt onto the crankshaft pulley. Easiest way. The 2006 has a very close clearance for the wrench from the top side.
THAAAANK YOU! This saved my ass. I was trying to do the alternator last. Would have been impossible, but crankshaft pulley last gave me so much more room with the tire off
@@julienkozak9023 Glad this helped you. ONly need to do it every 70K HA!
3:30-I can pull my wrench (on the tensioner)all the way to the bumper support and its still not enough to get the belt on, but you barely pulled yours and it slipped on easy.
Wtf, over?
How do you change the belt
what is the name of that curvy hose leading from the reservoir
MUSLIMUA that would be the power steering reservoir to pump feed hose
I just replaced my alternator, and I am having a very difficult time getting the new belt on. You made it look so easy. I am using a Harbor Frieght Serpentine belt tool with a 14 mm socket. Any suggestions? I can't get the belt over the power steering pulley or the alternator pulley if I go that route. Thanks.
Hi Robert, saw your comment that you replaced your alternator? I’m having the same issue with mine right now. I am based here in the marshall islands and parts here are hard to find thats why I am looking for online shop in US that sell honda alternator but couldnt find any yet. Do you have any contact or email of the shop you bought the alternator from? So that I can request a quote from them if possible. Your response will be very much appreciated.
@@pauldomingo4726 they may be able to deliver one to you
Works for 06 💪🏼
What made you change yours? Mine's having trouble starting up, like its not getting enough gas
@@jacobgodoy9851 when it started it squeaked loud but stopped as I drove. If your car doesnt start it is either one or more of the starters or the fuel pump. If you drive it on empty often it’s definitely the fuel pump. Check out Scotty Kilmer I trust his videos on advice
@@jacobgodoy9851 OR or can be the alternator. All these are not expensive to fix on a Honda
Thanks
Thank you for watching!
Watching your video, I got the same mountain wrench (14mm/12mm) and for the life of me, I cannot get the head on the bolt. It's too fat for my 2004 CR-V. The "knuckle" or whatever it is at 1:06 is too close to the tensioner that I cannot get the head around that bolt.
had the same problem. just taking it to a shop.
What size socket for the belt tensioner?
MrStoneycool69 14mm
Thanks very much, I'm planning a long trip to purchase a car in Melbourne to Brisbane Australia, and wanted to take a spare belt with me just in case......
MrStoneycool69 glad to help. Have a safe trip and thank you for watching!
our hood latch got messed up somehow in the process; another video recommends to lock the latch while hood is up to avoid this, idk
👍👍👍👍
Anybody replacing the tensioner?
would it be easier if I cut the old belt to take it out faster?
very good video :)
You can do that but I like to use the old belt to measure up the new one to make sure it’s correct and when it’s cut it’s hard to do that.
****** My friend taking any BELT off is very easy "CUT IT OFF" Because you are replacing it and then pull it out. it is hard to put them on. *******
Ishwar RAJPUT I occasionally do it that way. I like to take them off that way I can memorize how they route and also see if there’s any issues with the tensioner.
No matter what wrench, tool, or specialty kit I tried I could not get enough room to have the wrench down there. it's just going to a shop. Too much stress at this point. Glad it worked for everybody else!
It did not work for me. Instead I just got a 14mm box wrench, and then put a bar over it to give myself more leverage. The Mountain wrench in this video must not be the one that's sold on Amazon anymore, as it did not fit for me either.
What’s the belt number ?
I don’t remember and they can be different depending on the accessories your vehicle has so check with your part supplier
literally impossible thanks honda
I cannot be the only one who couldn’t get the belt back on
Or just cut the belt
Trash 🗑 can’t see anything
If you're such a good video guy why don't you make a video on it instead of talking shit?
Your video helped me so much, saved me hundreds in labor. Thank you!
What engine does this car come with ?
