Great video! One tip though if you do more vids is to get better lighting. I understand you are on the street however with all the portable LED lights out there you should be able to find a good one. Ok, I'm off to wrangle my tensioner and belt, it should be much easier now with your expert instructions! Thanks!
Thank you for your suggestion, proper lighting and camera angles are always a battle to give you guys (the viewer) the clearest possible view while allowing me still room to work is quite difficult. I've since invested in some lights I've used in my newer videos. Good luck with your belt, hopefully everything went smoothly for you. Thanks for supporting my channel!
I’ve been trying to figure out how to reach the detentioner bolt lol, I’ve been trying todo it from the top of the car. This makes so much more sense, I’m doing a water pump on my 07 v6 3.3 sonata almost the same set up, but same engines. I never thought of going from the wheel hub
great job, especially in the street! Wondering if there is any usefulness in placing front end on jack-stands to then be able to turn the rotor assembly all the way right (or left) to gain better access breaking that 17mm bolt? BTW, do you know if on this 3.3l when replacing the alternator you must drop the AC compressor out of the way 1st to gain access to the alternator?
In my opinion ideally one should have an electric impact (or air with a small compressor) if your going to do roadside repairs like these. Milwalkee makes one with over 1000ft pounds which would be perfect! The second question im unsure if you have to drop the subframe, most cars you can sneak it out but its a tight fit through the bottom. Thanks for supporting my channel.
Great vid, keep on recording. On the note, its HARD TO FIND!!! I looked up the obvious "3.3L serpentine belt replacement" and there is nothing. More tags, sir!
This is a pretty straight forward swap, and I'm frustrated with mine. The new tensioner doesn't alighn the same way as the old one, and the belt walks off. There's not multiple ways to put this on. It's just some engineer got creative thinking they could megamind some new way to make this better, and he should have stuck to the script. Be careful about your aftermarket parts I guess.
The best video on UA-cam on how to do this job! Thank you buddy
Glad it helped! Now if I only had a dollar from every person it helped I could quit my day job 🤣

Great video! Thanks!
Very welcome!
Why did you decide to replace and not just tension more? How do i know it needs replacing
Great vid, keep on recording. On the note, its HARD TO FIND!!! I looked up the obvious "3.3L serpentine belt replacement" and there is nothing. More tags, sir!
So what do I do if the nut on the tensioner is broke so I can release the tension?
Your replacing the belt and tensioner?
@@DrDempjust the tensioner
The whole unit piece
@@epicsans2037 belt may have to be cut off to release tension with tin snips. Use extreme caution.
THNX DOC!
Always welcome J!!
Did I mess up the tensioner it was tuff at first to crank then it got real loose and now its not even tightening anymore
The top 12 mm bolt
Taking it off or putting it back on?
You give it to tighten on impact and then to loosen and luck.

Definitely! All aftermarket parts are not created equally!
