A lot of videos showing you the wrong way, the hard way, of changing this belt. This is for the North American Ford FIesta. One serpentine belt, not two. Passenger side of the car, not the driver's side. Not taking an hour and pulling half the engine bay clutter out. If you can't get under the car easy then pull the wheel and remove the belt cover. Cut the old one out and install the stretch tools then install your belt. Remove the tools and make sure it works before putting it back together. Bada-BIng, Bada-Boom.

Wow great video. I have the exact car you have (2012 Fiesta SES Violet Gray) & Ford just told me I needed the accessory belt changed due to cracking at only 53,000 miles. This BS factory belt wore out too fast. What did I do wrong? I drove it normal the entire time. Whatever. Nice video, my man. I have a belt saved in my wish list on Amazon, since I don't have a jack or jack stands.

Belts don't always deteriorate with mileage. You can have dry rot and climate conditions will affect it. I think these stretchy belts are more susceptible to cracking over time. I got 100000+ out of mine. But better catch it early, before you have a real problem.

You didn't show how do you install the belt..

@tylerjessen6617 7 лет назад

Where do you get the install tool?

@josephlennon3786 8 лет назад

A/C compressor. Not power steering pump.

@followtheflip2172 8 лет назад

@TheCrazyracer1984 8 лет назад

I bought the motorcraft kit on amazon. it comes with the installation tools. amzn.to/2LwORpH

What bolt did you change from 8mm head to 10mm head? I'll probably be changing the belt on my 2014 this weekend.

@TheCrazyracer1984 5 лет назад

At 3:28 you can see where the keeper rod is installed. There was a normal 8mm bolt there. Remove it and install the new standoff so you can attach the keeper rod there. Use it to hold the belt like you see in the video. If you don't, the belt will slip off the pulleys during install. Once the belt is on, MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE ROD! But leave the new stud there.

@tylerneff6406 7 лет назад

i have thr same tool but it keeps slipping off when I start to tighten it..

@TheCrazyracer1984 7 лет назад

Tyler Neff make sure the belt is behind the holding rod and the tool has the tab in the position 1 hole with the hook resting inside the pulley. you may have to keep one hand on the head of the ratchet to hold the belt to the tool while you start to tension it. there's a video in the comments that shows the exact moment the belt rides over the top of the pulley. i couldn't capture it because you need 2 hands to install the belt and i don't have a stand

TheCrazyracer1984 do u need a torc wrench. im used a regular socket wrench..

@TheCrazyracer1984 7 лет назад

no torque wrench but it has to be long enough for you to turn the engine with one hand. make sure the transmission is in neutral.

@kayray7008 7 лет назад

Have you had transmission issues in your fiesta? Mine had had four with the last one making it unrunable at 80000 miles. I ended up trading mine in.

@TheCrazyracer1984 7 лет назад

My transmission has always had a problem of disengaging sometimes when going into reverse. other than that its been pretty good to me. mine has 186000 miles on it but i have the manual transmission. i dont like automatic transmissions because of all the things that can go wrong with them. sounds like i made the right choice.

the dual-clutch system on the AT is horrendous

easy my ass.

@TheCrazyracer1984 8 лет назад

in the grand scheme of things this isnt like adding air to a tire but it is no transmission swap. it can be done in 15 minutes. i found it more difficult, and time consuming, to replace the corner marker bulb in the front headlights. the whole assembly has to come out.

@stevenharden803 8 лет назад

+TheCrazyracer1984 the POS tool is thin and felmsy and bends to easily.
