I just got a Clean AF 2002 Civic SI hatchback from somebody for under 2,000 bucks with this exact same issue and he thought it was a blown motor... We are about to fix it this weekend and celebrate the catch.🔥
@@DIYAUTOCAR HEEELLLPPP!!!! If you know the answer that would be awesome. I'm trying to replace the starter in my 05 Civic SI. Came into a road block when the I got everything loose and then when I went to pull the manifold off, it appears the tensioner pulley assembly is in the way. Do I need to loosen that, if so how? Or is there a trick to not having to do that, please tell me there is.

I've never actually replaced the starter on this. I do have another video on removing the tensioner assembly. ua-cam.com/video/MDAR3XOlFEM/v-deo.html
I don’t have a 14 mm for my tensioner pully I have a 17 and it’s not long it’s short so I can’t even get the belt back on
Might have to go rent a serpentine belt tool from your local chain parts store if you can't just double it up like I did in the video.

Can you add bracket Part number in description and pulley part number
Thanks for the video man! Is the Gates 38028 tensioner pulley still performing good? Cheers
No problem. Yeah, it's been holding up just fine. No issues.
@@DIYAUTOCAR Noticed you didn't torque the tensioner to proper specs.... It's definitely a tight space for a torque wrench
@@s9vide0z Yeah, I didn't really have room. I just went with snug and it's been fine.
Does it matter what side of the Idley pulley is put on?
Yes, it does. If you get it backwards part of the belt will end up on top of the edge of the pulley.
Idle pulley 16 lbs torque
Thanks.
Tension pulley torque 41 lbs
Thanks
i cant believe u didnt show the idler pully's orientation as it is not symmetrical
You could also just pay attention before removing the old one.
I actually worked it out from yr video by pausing and looking closely. thank u for the instructions.
Mine exploded off 😅
Yeah, that will happen if you let it go for a while.
