Appreciate the video and belt diagram, just about to change one.
Hope you feel better lol
There’s not much room in there to get a socket on the tensioner, might be worth actually getting a proper tool. (A regular socket is much too long).
If you have to use a socket wrench on the tension roller, loosen the top engine mount to drop the engine slightly to get the socket wrench on. It is a lot more work, and helps to have a jack under the engine! Will be making my own special bar once my welder gets here!
Thank you so much.
Not a problem mate!

Can you message the alternator part number please someone stole mine off the car 😢
Sorry but unfortunately I cannot find it for the life of me.
So followed this, but the serpentine tool is stuck on the tensionor bearing. So spent over an hour and half trying to remove it. Lol don't follow.youtube.
How’d that happen?
Would you mind me ask how many kms on it I have the same Mazda 2 2011, my has 270000 kms, don't know how far from replacing
This car had about 180,000 Ks on it I think. The alternator had been replaced once already so I think it may have been a faulty part.
The replacement was a while ago so we couldn’t find the receipt to claim on warranty so don’t forget to keep yours!
@@OhCar_Magazine Thanks! My car does freeway a lot, like 80% of the time, commuting. Given 270k on it, I feel its starter and alternator could give up at any minute
@@BaeLasso you’ll know it when they go 😅
