Hey I just wanted to really thank you for this. Before last week I had never done a timing belt job and honestly it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Having a universal joint and several extensions really made the job a lot easier. I really appreciate your time in making this video, I just was passed down my father's old 03 Odyssey. He bought it when I was 9 and we have had a ton of family vacations in this car. He recently got a new car after putting 638k miles on the Odyssey. I've saved it from the scrap yard and I'm hoping the get a lot of life out of it. We're currently transforming it into a camper van so we can travel for a lot less. For anyone worried that this might be too difficult to do, as long as you have the time and the tools, it's not very difficult to accomplish. Thanks again!
@@pchow1970 Original engine, it was loosing oil before but I had a pretty bad oil pump leak that I fixed, and I replaced the pcv valve. I'm in the middle of a suspension change as the old suspension was super dangerous to have in the rain. It's on its third tranny.
Great video! I wouldn't have tried to tackle this job without it. Thank you! I tried removing the crank bolt with the holder tool but broke one breaker bar and nearly rounded out the attachment to the holder tool. Wound up using the starter method and that worked like a charm. The van is all back together and running good, so far. Thanks again!
I addressed the problem with the "rounding" by wedging the handle of the tool holding the tool against the suspension to keep it from turning, then having my wife use an extension to hold the specialty tool straight while I reefed on the breaker bar on the bolt. Worked great.
Save yourself some hassel and buy the 19mm thick walled impact socket. Pops that 🔩 like nothing. Do buy the harmonic balancer tool he showed in the beginning because you'll need to hold the pulley while properly torqueing the 19mm bolt.
Thanks, just did the timing on my 99 Odyssey, good thing the water pump was starting to leak. I used the Asin kit and your video help a lot. Saved me hundreds of dollars, so now I can use the money I saved for fishing gear .
die-eggo camaney - How long did it take you to put yours in? I have a 99' Accord V6 which I know has the same engine as yours. Looking to replace the components myself. Any tips that I should know about?
@@josephbell2160 well the Honda Accord will be a bit more difficult because the limited spsace. It's the similar procedure of the oddysey. Look for Accord timing videos.
great work! If i decide tonchange the belt on our 000 Ody, ill def refer to your vid. Ive lost quite a few 1/2 "breaker" bars myself-all different brands. After being stranded in Western Idaho due to over torqued Volvo lug bolts holding on a flat tire, I'm now the proud owner of a SnapOn 3/4 to 1/2 adapter. The guy at the tire shop removing the wheels had to put all his weight on the end of a 6 foot pipe connected to a 3/4 breaker (cheapo china brand from local hardware store) to get the lugs off; the breaker and Snapon adapter are still in good shape. just in case wife has to go to a tire shop on her own, car doesnt leave home without the 3/4.
If you don't have that tool remove the trans inspection cover below use a pry bar to jam the transmission flywheel and loosen the crank bolt I did it twice
O'reilly loans those crank puller tools for free. You buy it, then they give you the money back when you return it, basically. And I used an allen wrench for the tensioner pin. Worked well.
Thanks for the video man! I watched this before doing the timing belt and all on my wife's 04 honda accord. I wouldn't recommend buying that $20 hex nut crank holder though, as I just wedged the breaker bar holding the bolt somewhere and bumped the starter.....
I tried everything possible with hand tools. Bought two breaker bars, special Honda pulley wrench used in the video, different sockets. Even broke one socket adaptor. Nothing worked. Finally I bought the corded impact wrench from Harbor Freight for $110. The torque rating is 1050 Lb*Ft. It worked like a charm with a harmonic balancer socket! Battery powered impact wrench of same rating normally costs around $300. Do not try anything under 600 Lb*Ft.
if you want to be thorough which would help show people how to take a crank pulley off that does not just slide right off. Also a better description where the bolts are fpr the bottom cover. Other than that great job. Thanks
A really good flex head ratchet bud will just make everything easier. Craftsman may be okay for some diy stuff. But I promise you, Pick up a Gearwrench 120xp or a Truck brand ratchet and it'll make the world of difference..
Calvin C. I recently did get the Milwaukee 1/2 you're talking about (also the 3/8" too). Love it so far. Although I kind of feel like it would have been cheating to use it in this video because the average joe won't have that and will need to know how to do it the old fashioned way.
Just put the breaker bar with the 19 mm socket, rest it against the bottom of the control arm, remove the fuse for the fuel pump and have someone crank the engine but very quickly and that stubborn crank bolt will come off in like a second.
You can also do it just before fitting the belt. My main crank got off TDC somehow while I was doing other work to the engine. I just lined up all the marks for TDC, put the belt on as shown on another YT vid, and after tensioning it, rotated it manually through a couple of rotations, then checked to make sure the marks were still in line. They were, and it runs fine now.
Hello 50s kid, First thank your for making this video. I'm changing my 2003 Odyssey timing belt based on your video. Unfortunately, the camshafts moved on me and I ´m trying to put them back on the mark but they keep jumping forward or backward as soon I try to force them back on the mark. Is there a foolproof method to retain the camshafts on mark without moving. I really appreciate your help.
I was not aware that tensioner types can be swapped with each other. I thought you had to replace it with the same type of tensioner as their mounting was different.
seems like you taking alot never done that before,,,I just use starter with a wrench holding in place with extension and body, I either buy bearing from a bearing store with a exchange the balls are the ones that wear down strip the most, they should be oil up frequently or dip in, sometimes the pole holding the bearing gets strip that what I seen on starter shops the use a hard rubber plastic vinyl on shaft or a sleeve of some type ,,or welded shaft then smooth low small light grit roundoff gring or thicker bearing s

The key is sticking out about 1/8th inch. Is it okay to stikcing out? After I put all pulley and timing belt back on, I decided to took all back out since I'm not sure about this.

Hello 50s Kid, Can you please share the name brand of the timing kit you purchased? Or at least the link. You provided this for the crank tool, but not the kit. This would be very helpful. The reason I ask, because I was told you should use Genuine Honda parts is this true? Thanks!
Sometimes these things are on so tight that it can't get them off. If its really tight, you need a weighted socket but then an impact, even a battery one, can take it off like butter

Hi. I watched your video and felt confident enough to change the water pump n valve cover gasket on sisters 2001 honda odyssey.. now that I have change those parts the vehicle seem to have a misfire on cylinders number 2 & 4. it's really noticeable that it idles rough. do you have any idea what might have cause the issue?
Try switching those coils with neighboring coils and see if the misfire follows them. (Ie switch 2 & 3 and then switch 4 & 5) If the misfire moves to those other cylinders, you have bad coils.
Yea I try tha and it wasn't the coil. Do you think it could be the timing off by one tooth? Reason why I'm asking is because when I was replacing the timing belt the cam on head 1 moved. But I put it back on the mark.
Where did you get your parts kit? I'd like to get rid of the grenade style tensioner and can't seem to find it anywhere. I see a lot of kits that are really cheap as well, like around $90, would you recommend staying away from those

changing water pump 2009 Honda Accord
Just put the breaker bar with the 19 mm socket, rest it against the bottom of the control arm, remove the fuse for the fuel pump and have someone crank the engine but very quickly and that stubborn crank bolt will come off in like a second.
I work at a Honda dealer and typically the other techs just zip the crank bolt off with an air impact without that tool
Yeah not everybody has that so I wanted to show the manual way.
Can't get mine off :/ need the impact
great video!!
Why do you need to find TDC before you even loosen crank bolt? You can easily do that before you remove crank sprocket.
You can also do it just before fitting the belt. My main crank got off TDC somehow while I was doing other work to the engine. I just lined up all the marks for TDC, put the belt on as shown on another YT vid, and after tensioning it, rotated it manually through a couple of rotations, then checked to make sure the marks were still in line. They were, and it runs fine now.
What did u use for removing crank bolt
How do I realign my 2 camshaft marks? Since my timing belt broke

Not really--use a paper binder clip or small clamps to hold the belt onto each camshaft pulley at the proper spot, then it won't matter if they move
