    I've watched a lot of these vids, everyone pulls half the car apart to get to the belt. I'm relieved to see you can leave radiator etc in. Also, no one else has shown the trick of using alternate belt to tighten crank, brilliant and totally worked! Great vid, I can do this now after watching, thank you.

    Just did it today, great video, the extra advice to make your life easier 1-place a big paper clip on the timing marks on both cam sprockets to hold them in place, 2-leave the left upper and lower pulleys uninstalled until the belt is around all the other pulleys then tighten the upper then the lower pulley and you are done without pulling or tugging on the belt

    Just a tiny addition to the bleeding of the tensioner is that you need to do the compression and expansion rate within no less then a minute.

  • @DaddyBeanDaddyBean

    Thanks for the great video - I never would have tackled this project without your help. Installing the toothed pulley after the belt is in place is a brilliant idea. Suggestion - it's much easier to get the timing cover out from behind those two oxygen sensor wires if you unhook them from that bracket holding them. Just squeeze the plastic doodads on the back of the bracket with needle nose pliers and they'll pop right out.
    I was replacing the water pump too, so drained the coolant and removed the upper radiator hose and both fans; that gave me plenty of room to get at the pulleys and such. I also removed the radiator, but in retrospect I'm not sure it was worth it - you only gain another inch and a quarter or so of depth behind the AC condenser, and a standard impact still doesn't fit. You have to deal with the lower hose and trans cooler lines, and it's just a lot of screwing around to gain an inch.
    Speaking of impact, the crank pulley bolt on mine was INSANE. Long story short, after fighting it by hand for well over an hour, I borrowed an insane nuclear-powered SnapOn impact and offset drive from a mechanic buddy and had it out in ten seconds. By hand, with or without the special crank pulley holder tool, I never would have gotten it. (I used a medium-duty "strap wrench".) I needed a gear puller to get the pulley off.
    Finally, installing the new tensioner, the bolt didn't feel right, almost but not quite like it was cross threading. It turns out some previous jackwagon had stripped out the threads, then filled it with JB Weld and put the bolt in and called it good. Heli-coil to the rescue.

    What do you do if the engine is already slightly out of time when you bring the crank shaft to top dead center? He just slightly turns it counter clockwise gently but what if both camshaft sprockets are off cause of a loose timing belt?

    Do the cams stay in place without a tool to hold them? I have changed belts on other cars that had special tools to keep cams from turning because of valve springs.

    6:30 you do not need to ruin your sepentine belt to lock the crank to get the pulley off, there is a flywheel access in back of motor you can stick a screwdriver in to lock it too

    The rubberseal on the timingcovers were a must to put back, to prevent debris coming on the belts. Also I always put a little antiseize to the crankpulley mounting area on the crankshaft, to prevent it get stuck. Overall 7 out of 10 for this video.

  • @YoureNowOnTV
    @YoureNowOnTV 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks for making this. On the hydraulic tensioner, shouldn't the black o-ring on the bolt be removed before you install it? Isn't it there for shipping purposes only? Also it seems easier to remove the electric fans out? A couple of clips and bolts and you have extra inches to work in.

    Very good video, thanks! Here's a tip: My alternator belt was glazed and it slipped when trying to tighten the harmonic balancer bolt as recommended in the video. I had some "belt grip" on hand which solved the problem.

    There are many different paint marks on the cam sprockets. The important mark is a small line in the metal on the edge of both cam pulleys, these lines are what need to be lined up with the timing marks on the heads.

    One trick you left out- I was having a 'heck' (not my wording at the time!) of a time getting the harmonic balancer back on. Then I used a mirror to see down the hole, to help square it and align the keyway with the key. Then it slipped on nicely.

    One thing about the top cover seal... if your power steering pump leaks you can get the atf (PS fluid) under the cover and on the belt. Don't ask me how I know.

    • @DaddyBeanDaddyBean
      @DaddyBeanDaddyBean 3 роки тому

      Fans, absolutely, 100% worth it. Radiator, meh, it's a fair bit of screwing around to gain about an inch more clearance front-to-back before you get to the AC condenser. If your car is a unicorn that doesn't have AC, then removing the rad makes more sense, more bang for the buck. To each his own of course.

    My biggest issue was getting the crankshaft bolt loose! Special tools are expensive for a once every 95K mile project! Question: when do you recommend also replacing the water pump while into the engine this far? Maybe the second timing belt??

    @acgolem 3 роки тому +2

    Why not at least remove the fans. You're talking 4x 10mm bolts and it gives you so much more room. Also chucking away the timing cover seals seems like a bad idea. Timing belts aren't replaced often, these cars often get used off road and the timing belt is at the front of the engine. It'll likely get foreign objects in there, Potentially degrading the belt prematurely.
    Personally I'd recommend replacing the water pump. While doing the timing belt. It's just good practice.
    Otherwise good video
    Definitely one of the easier timing belts to change.

      There’s no water pump in the kit! Agree with Elvir, you should always replace the pump at the same time!

      @@mszostkowski Nope. He said it 'looked good' and skipped it. There's some good parts to this video and some crazy short cuts. Just removing the rubber gasket for the timing belt covers? Pretty sure your client would prefer it replaced than chance anything getting in under there. Not replacing water pump at same time as timing belt? Unnecessary future risk.

      He didnt because his company kit doesnt sell it, so omit instead of admit.
      I feel the way he did it, another repair in 20K waiting. Take it all off again, pully sieze or tensioner broke timing belt etc.
      Nice way to destory an engine if you do this without removing the fan and radiator.

    Do yourself a favor and leave the geared idler in. Remove the passenger side lower idler. Use a 17MM wrench or breaker to hold tension on the right hand cam pulley, make sure all teeth lock, and the belt will slip right in between the water pump and geared idler. Replace the passenger idler...there's plenty of play with the long stretch returning to the passenger side cam pulley. Trying to ease the geared idler in like this guy does is a recipe for cross-thread and installing a heli-coil blind.
    This lady goes full boss mode on her timing belt, plus it's the same channel.

      Thanks for the tips. I tried a dry run yesterday and could tell I was about to end in disaster by cross threading the lower left roller. I stopped when I felt the bolt on an angle. I am still struggling with getting enough slack to route the belt though. Watching as many video's and reading as many shop manuals as I can to do it without damaging anything.

      Yep, did the job myself because of how picky I am. I work on aircraft, so I get very particular about things being just right and CLEAN.
      I cleaned the covers inside and out before they went back in place.
      The engine block behind the timing components was cleaned before new parts went on.
      Any fasteners that were marginal due to rust (problem here in Canada) were replaced.
      I had a bolt shear off due to rust, so I carefully drilled it out and re-threaded the hole. Most shops wouldnt have bothered or charged me more for it.
      Part of cleaning is inspecting.
      No mechanic would bother to do any of this stuff when they need to get the job done and get the next car in to make money.
