2002 Mazda Protege 5 Timing belt & Waterpump Removal

[@VS-q]

I replaced 3 timing belts on V6 engines using RUclips guides. I like your trick with the screw driver. Also, if you put marks on the timing belt and on all 3 pulleys and then transfer those marks to the new belt there is no need to actually align all factory marks and turn the engine so the piston is at the highest point. Mazda 323 is our next DIY project so thanks for your video!

good for u but every mechanic had different approach on how to replace timing belt

[@wierdbeard-zk1mc]

First let me thank you for the video. I would be lost without the help of people like you who take the time to do instruction videos such as this. I am not a seasoned mechanic andi am struggling with this. .... please tell me if I need a washer or spring in-between the harmonic balancer bolt and the disc?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

most cars had washer on that harmonic balancer bolt for this protege 5 please double check my video

What kind of Jack is that used to support the engine?

Any jack. Just put a piece of wood between the jack and oil pan
