Bad S2000 Pulley - HOW TO FIX IT THEM !
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- We've been repairing the S2000 Pulley noises for years.
We figured we'd share how easy it is and offer the Bearing in the store
The OEM pulley doesn't really have issues, just the bearing.
A new OEM Pulley is $75-$80.
The new Bearing from the LHT Store
We now have the Nachi Bearing !

I’m saving your how to videos!! My brother knew everything about his s2k and showed me your channel A LONG time ago. Since his passing I’m trying my best to learn more about this car and the tips tricks to work on them. We used to watch your channel together. Up to me now to maintain his car. Thanks again appreciate the knowledge as always. Let’s hope this year is better for everyone!!
Hey buddy, I’m so sorry for your loss. Passion is something that keeps a common interest, I’ve met some of my best friends because of this. Also some of best memories too. The car keeps you near to him and keeps you connected. I’m glad you’ve found our channel, it’s passion based, and I’m glad it helps you with your car. Stay strong my friend, I know what it’s like, you’re in good company here.
I really appreciate you guys. Thanks for taking the time and explaining a lot of your small tricks. Those help more than you guys realize.
Thanks, if we get enough feedback we may bring back tech Tuesday.
If I ever win the lotto, I'm shipping my S2k to you to weave your magic on her. Such a brilliant channel. Thank you!
Lol. You don’t need to hit the lotto. Our labor rate is half the dealership but with 10 times the passion and knowledge.
@@LHTPerformance shipping from the UK and back might hurt the bank balance! Passion and knowledge is undeniable!🤘
@@jamesmerrett9457 Lol. That might not be cost effective.
John: Once again, you don't miss the details. S2K was/is best car I have ever driven. Keep it it up my friend👍
Just received the pulley bearings that I ordered. ❤ I will be working on it tomorrow. Thank you for the LHT Performance sticker. I enjoyed and learned a lot from watching the videos. The tips and tricks are so informative. 👌 keep up the great work 👏
how to videos are back, wooohoooo LHT, LHT, LHT!!
Thank you so much for this, one day I will come down to Florida with my S2000 do something on it.
Very informational to me. I know how to do that job now on the s2000. I know now the top pulley is left handed threads. Great product, that is the way to go. Do it myself and save myself from the garage bill if it ever happens. My 2001 S2k is at 37,000 yet. Thanks to you and your crew. 😊
Always enjoy the videos guys and Esther!
Great video like always. One little tip I learned a long long time ago which you can do of you wanted is to make these bearings last even longer. If you pop the seal off one side, then take some synthetic grease or white grease on your finger and pack it inside the bearing and put the seal back on,, it works fantastic. You can see how little grease is In these bearings when they're made.
Followed the link from the LHT store. Another great how to LHT video ! Thanks for all you do for the S2000 community. I recently ordered some s2k shifter parts from your store - can’t believe how fast you filled and shipped the order.
Just ordered mine! Thanks for the video , I’ve had these noise for a bit now and never thought to check the pulley bearings 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you for you’re help
Thanks for the video! Really well done.
Thanks
I’ve had to replace my idler pulley and never thought of replacing the bearing only. Awesome
I miss my AP2. Still a loyal subscriber.
absolutely love your how to videos! helps me a lot since I am a first time s2000 owner
Glad they help. Often doing things yourself not only save you money but help you understand your car better
thank you for showing this very informative and helpful, cant wait for the next vid!
I’m surprised to see no anti seize in use. I’ll keep that in mind. My 88 y/o dad passed a little while ago. I have purchased his red ‘06 w 60k on the clock from my siblings. I look forward to doing a few of these simpler things myself. Someday I will tow the car to you and have it gone over good and proper. Sadly I am located as far as one can get from you while remaining in the contiguous 48. C’est la vie.
There’s no reason to use anti seize in a place with that’s not in a corrosive area. We typically use it on the lower portion of the car, that’s in the weather
I bought the two bearings from you and replaced them. The hardest part was taking the air filter box off. I polished and waxed the two pulleys and the engine bay. Now for the air box. Thank you for doing this video. Total cost $28 parts, $17.50 for a 30 mm socket, and the fan belt
Good. I told you it was easy 😉. It’s a very rewarding simple job. 👍🏻
The Honda dealership wanted $250 for labor, If I supply the parts. They do nice work. I replaced the steel or brass bearing inserts. $17.00. Thank you for making the training video
@@SuperBullyone you’re welcome buddy. We have some more How To videos coming soon.
Brilliant video as allways guys 😁
Awesome stuff. I had to do this a few months back. Super easy job!
Really appreciate great how to videos like this! I ordered two bearings from the LHT store will be installing soon.
Need more of these vids 👍 good job guys
Thank you for spreading the knowledge.
Thanks I did it and it turned out great 👍 Thank you LHT.
Thanks for sharing, there are too many people who don’t know these details.😎
Can't thank enough for the content, next time I need something for my S2000, I'll definitely go through LHT and by some merchandise while at it.
I watch all your s2000 content as I just picked up a 2002 Ap1
Saw this video and bought the bearings. I can't thank you guys enough for making this completely easy on me! Also, thank you for the bonus koozie!!! I've already put it to great use ;)
I’m glad we could help buddy. Thanks for the comment my friend. Enjoy the Koozie
Awesome video. Thank you for the diy!
Great video again, thank you
Thanks for all the great videos. I live in western Canada and I only get to drive my 2000 S2000 a few months/year. In the spring the steering is really stiff. I have been told that its probably the steering torque sensor. The sensor is no longer available, but the manual says it can be regreased. I would love to see how you would tackle this procedure. Thanks again for all your great videos!
We’ve done the re grease on the this part several time but unfortunately it only seems to last more than 2-3 months and than continues.
Great stuff John
Great video John!!
Thank you John! Happy new year. Ash and Nicola.
Just place my order for a bearing, glad I came across your video. Thanks a lot
As usual excellent video, saved me some money and good tips for removal and checking of the bearings, only issue i had was the revers thread torque setting, i didn't have a reverse Torque wrench...... But do now !!!!! thanks again from the UK!!
Been watching your informative videos for years! We are cruising from Port Canaveral in June and thinking about letting you install the Kraftwerks supercharger while sailing. Live here in Yorktown VA and saw you at Fontana Dam last year!
I'm late to the game. Just bought a 07 S2000 and heard this noise you're explaining. Thanks. I have some videos to catch up on!
Great car ! I hope we can be of help to
Ownership and maintenance.
@@LHTPerformance just bought the bearings and belt from you. Thanks!
@@eljefe1077 Awesome. Make sure to take your time and follow the video. Take pictures to make sure the spacers go back in the correct order.
Love these DIY videos! Keep ‘em coming! I learn something new every time! ,ore of that LHT TLC!
I appreciate you so much John, I’m actually experiencing this exact noise . Thank you for sharing your tips and fixes. I will make sure to place n order on these bearings at your store.
Thanks buddy. Pull the belt to confirm , it’s usually the noise.
Yes, I do watch.
Thanks for the video, just ordered a set of bearings for my 2003
You guys are the best!! Thank you from Canada.
Thank you for the tech tip!! Seems like a project I can handle
You can do it, it’s pretty straight forward.
Bring Back Tech Tuesday!
With the correct bearing for each application this would work on other vehicles too.
exact type of content I'm looking for....I enjoy it all, but I prefer to do my own work with stuff like this. I have a slight mistrust of dealerships or shops, especially if they would be working on my S2000.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing 👊
You are the god of s2000, thanks, saludos de Chile.
Fantastic 'how-to', perfectly explained, easy to follow, what's not to like 👍👍. Thanks for sharing, you have no idea how helpful these videos are 👍. PS a coolant change and bleed video would be great (selfishly because mine is due 😁).
Thanks buddy. We may do a coolant flush video. We also pre made some full/ bleeding kits that we never put in the store yet.
Great videos
Very helpful, thank you.
Nice and easy, that's why I love ❤️ Hondas
Another awesome video lht! Thanks!
Damn, I wish I have seen this video. I already bought new ones from Honda last few years for my K series.
Great video
please consider a video on how to remove the black tape around the windshield on a S2000. (without messing up anything else...
I would like to see a full timing set replacement on the s2000. I have an 8th Gen Civic SI so any content on that car as well would be great as well. I appreciate the videos, hopefully when I post my videos on my supra and civic build I’ll get a like from
LHT Performance as well. :)
Nice
I did it! Woo hoo! V-Techhhhhh
I worked in parts for 7 years in high end dealerships(non related) but my idle pulley was making a sound almost like a bad rod bearing and got the last one; their on back order now. Wanted to replace the whole thing just due to it sitting for so long. So as of now you can only get the bearings lol. No eta on Backorder for the pulleys.
We install a lot of these. Once you do a valve adjustment its sometimes more noticeable, how loud the pulleys are. And the metal part of the poly typically doesn’t go bad, it’s just the bearing. The bearings are going to save people a lot of money. And we use the best possible bearings , they should last a long time to.
@@LHTPerformance yeah i have the other pulley to replace and will be buying the bearings. car has 150k still original clutch..got her with 19k miles. when I was in orlando I really wanted to bring it out to you guys for a few issues but im up by tail of the dragon now. we'll cross paths soon!
@@Jeromesclosetbreaks Look out for the CHD meet in October 7th and 8th. We’ll be there and about 300 + Honda guys.
@@LHTPerformance see you there! hope you bring the NFR with the CR kit! want to see it in person lol.
awesome stuff
Solid video and tips!
Helpful video. Thank you
Nice tut!
Did this same exact thing on my ex Tacoma Prerunner a while ago, it was sounding like squeaky birds. Used 2 NSK bearings. Saved a lot of money too!
Please do a rear-main-seal and trans-input-shaft seal tut. 👏 (like, what you do during a clutch install)
Does the trans-input-shaft seal require trans-case disassembly? Or, is it just a similar procedure as the rear-main-seal?? 🤔
I will do a video on this. We sell a S2000 clutch install kit that includes the main and trans seal. We have a few good tips.
@@LHTPerformance Awesome man!
Yeah... there's a lot of good clutch install tuts on YT... but none for the seals :(
Awesome!
Thanks LHT
starter rebuild DIY!!!
Thanks for the tip. Will check my pulley next time. 👍
For people in other part of the world, can we use common double-sealed bearings of the appropriate size ? or is it a very special automotive bearing ? Thx.
Just make sure it’s a good quality bearing. We’ve tried a cheaper brand and it lasted 6 months.
John, at least you didn't say "Anti-clockwise" ;) Do you recommend anti-seize on the bolt threads?
I have to correct myself, people pick apart anything I say. Lol. No anti seize is needed.
Don’t you mean “ space grease” 😬
😉
Does it make it easier to press the bearing in if you to warm up the pulley and chill the bearing? Super valuable information, easy to understand. Thank you!
It presses in and out so easy it not needed.
Hey could you make a video on how to delete the secondary air pump?
In your video you mentioned a 30mm socket and in another video by someone else they used a 1 1/8 socket. There’s quite a bit of difference.
Which one is the closest one?
As long as it contacts the out race. I use whatever is available, just don’t contact the bearing surface.
👍
Good one John. Love ya brother. You get to see your old man?
Unfortunately no, he got a bladder infection and couldn’t travel.
Sad for you. Hoping hes better soon.
@@camlobesvtec Thanks buddy. He’s getting better everyday and hopefully he can get here soon. I’m going to put him on the channel for sure.
Do you guys recommend painting the rusty looking s2000 pulleys? Bout to order the bearings from y’all.
Yes. Mask off the area the belt rides on. Also the large washer / dust cover can be painted. We now have the Serpentine belts too.
Any opinion on things like the Toda pulleys? There seems to be mixed opinions out there, but little first-hand
We’ve installed a couple of sets but don’t have any long term experience with them. We’re big fans of OEM here
does the tensioner pulley have the exact same washers/spacers/pieces as the idler pulley?
No. The bearings are the same. The configuration is different
So how do you remove the tensioner pulley off?
With a 14mm socket. The tensioner is a left hand thread
Just checked and my torque wrench is not reversible. John, what brand wrench do you use? Thanks
Not all wrench will reverse. Do it by feel.
Does this bearing fit the pulleys on the K24 as well?
Im pretty sure they do.They fit the idler pulley for sure.
@@LHTPerformance I need this from you guys then. Mine squeeks like crazy.
Does anyone know the dimensions of this bearing please?
They are in our store
www.lhtperformance.com/product-page/s2000-pulley-bearing
What’s the tensioner pulley suppose to be torqued to?
31 ft lbs. I just did my bearings this morning, so the value is still fresh in my mind.
Would the bearing cause a whistling noise?
Most likely. Remove the tension off the belt and feel the pulley. It will tell you right away
@@LHTPerformance that’s what I was thinking, and then I found the video and basically confirmed it but wanted to be sure. Thank you!!! A couple of your videos has helped me quite a bit since I just bought a high mileage s2k and obviously that comes with many problems
@@ImSoundzGFX Glad they help.
