tutorials from this content provider are often missing very valuable information. They seem to want you to buy parts from them, but their tutorials really do need some work. let Sue do the demonstrations for things like this, she definitely does a much better job than any of the other providers working for this company.

Did I miss it, or did it not show the belt routing around all of the pulleys?

[@Jeffo2024]

By any chance, do you have the part number for the belt that you used? Thank you. Your answer would be greatly appreciate it. I’m working on the same thing and the belt from AutoZone is too long not save the old belt.

[@MW97058]

In order for you to access the 8 MM hex (as you did) from under the fender, you first have to removed the motor mount and lower the engine - I'm puzzled why this video didn't mention that? Kind of misleading if you ask me.

[@drury2d8]

Those who get the 8 mm hex off at first try can give themselves a party. BTW, whats the 'limited' warranty on the parts?

[@drewschmanke6238]

is there a way to take the bolt off from the top? The 8 hex bolt

[@onaweekend5138]

Did you swap out the water pump too?

[@pgreenx]

I check and it’s another $150 and I would do it

[@theodorerobb180]

What would the cost for this repair?

[@charlespayne1909]

Could you do a timing chain video
Please

@@TRQOK thanks

[@sergioleos1978]

How push so hard belt!!

[@johns6431]

The 8mm bolt on the bottom of the tensioner is stripped. Any ideas on how to remove?

[@papaemeritus4544]

Hammer in a Torx
Or: Drill out the head and remove the tensioner
Or: Leftrotation drill
Or: Bolt remover (left turning)

[@ourmobileautorepair864]

You can go to Harbor freight tools and get a bolt extractor kit.

My belt tool touches the motor mount

[@charlesparson1331]

Man I wanted to bypass the ac compressor the tensioner stripped before it started to move.😢
