- So there's been some confusion about the serp belt tensioner. It's actually a 19mm hex bolt under and inside the belt not visible. I completely missed it, and that's the reason I had such issues with it...and i apologize for that.
Here's the 19mm belt tensioner location video I made.
• Scion XB 2nd gen belt ...
I got a 2009 Scion xB. Best way to remove and put back is to make sure it’s on all pulleys and slip it thru the water pump pulley .
brO that camera shake making me motion sick
... what's the most highest plug off the harness. Two wire pin. I ripped mine off during the replacement.
great job dude
Video was very helpful but there’s one mistake I discovered. The pulley tension release is not the 14mm pulley but the 19mm pulley BRACKET BOLT that sits just above the pulley. I had the same issue getting the belt on. Using the correct bracket tension bolt the belt slipped right on. Harbor Freight had the kit for $19.00....
yeah i know. I stated that in the description and if you look at the comments I corrected it with a video. ua-cam.com/video/AtNub1qJsco/v-deo.html Glad you found it helpful. I wish I could go back and edit/correct videos on here but I can't.
So on the tensioner tool, use the 19mm bit and not the 14mm?
Thanks! This looks very straight forward
Great video. I love how you involved your son the muscle man.
Most helpful video i’ve found on this job, thank you! 🤓👍🏻👍🏻
Good video dude. 🎉Thanks.
Thank you!
Excellent video, thx brodie...
thanks!
Great video thank you for posting 👍
Glad you like it! Sorry I got the tensioner bolt size and location wrong in the video. The correct bolt is in the description. YT won't let me edit this video.
Thank you so much it was really helpful
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Dude which one is the tension release? The one closer to you or the one behind it?
that's the mystery still. But after a lot of research there's a 19mm hex bolt inside and under the belt not visible that is the tension bolt. Here's the forum thread I started. www.scionlife.com/forums/scion-xb-2nd-gen-drivetrain-power-1792/xb-gen2-belt-tensioner-bolt-size-location-238838/#post4303364
Ben Wade is it not visible? Any way you could upload a video showing where it is? Maybe just put your finger by the alternator then guide it to where the tension release is? I’m in like hour 4 trying to replace the alternator and it’s driving me nuts haha
Ben Wade I managed to find the tensioner but there’s barely an inch of wiggle room and the belt won’t budge. Is there a better way to do it or just a matter of powering through inch by inch?
Ben Wade Wow that thing really is a b****. I managed to find it and loosen the belt! Thanks for the video. Now that last 14mm is what’s giving me trouble, won’t budge at all.
Jonathan Rowe which 14mm? The one on the actual alternator? If so, use a pipe to extend your ratchet handle for better leverage.
how many miles your car had before you needed to replace alternator. i have a 2012 scion xb with 81k miles and thinking about replacing it . or should i wait 10k more miles to change it out. ???????
Don’t replace it until it fails. My Xb has 291,000 miles with original alternator.
@@AdventuresWithMe00 ok. Thanks. All my other cars alternator fail right at 100k miles. I wondered because i was traveling 100 miles twice a day for school but i am done with school now but i still replaced it with a high output one. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to share. Very good video.
Thanks Ben very helpful
how much more work would it be to change that belt ?
not too much more work. It's loosened anyway. So you'd just need to make a record of how it's routed on the pullies (or whatever they're called). I think you can get a diagram pretty easily online. Then it's just a matter of taking it off, then putting the new one on when you get the new alternator in.
How did it let you slide In easily for the alternator? I try to put mine in, and I have to wiggle it to get it in place and then the bolts don’t even line up well when wiggling it?
umm it should just go in. If not, make sure you have the right part to your scion xb. if you do have the right part and it's not going in, maybe something around it is corroded or you need to finagle/wiggle it more in??
@@wadevid I got it in now, but thank you sir!
Ben, thank you for your video. I watch 2 or 3 others they kept saying the belt tensioner is right there but I couldn't find it. Your Video is the only reason I got my alternator changed. Thanks a million.
Awesome! That's great to hear! Again sorry about the tensioner bolt being so hard and weird to figure out.
OEM or some other brand alternator?
OEM
does some one knows the name of the tool he uses ?
They're just ratchets with 10mm deep, 12mm deep, 14mm, 19mm sockets . and a screwdriver and belt tensioner ratchet for the 19mm. It should be in the video. If not let me know what I missed.
I’m having the same problem at the end with getting the belt back on. I managed to get it on maybe a halfway on the top and a quarter on the bottom (not quite as much as you did though. Should I try to run the engine real quick to see if that straightens it out like you did?
idk. i'd make sure you're using that 19mm bolt I told you about for releasing the tension all the way on the belt.
@@wadevid I did it! Word of advice to anyone in the future who's doing the same thing: loosen the 12mm bolt under the alternator. That'll give you just the extra millimeter of room to get the tight belt back on the alternator.
@@jonathanrowe9024 nice!
