Thank you! Just subbed. I replaced the alternator in my 08 Odyssey. It was a pain getting it out and the new one in but I got it. When I first took the belt off I thought…. “THIS is going to be fun putting back on” I kept struggling with it and watching videos but yours is the best. I had my wife help keep tension on it while I routed it and boom, done. The way you described it, and putting it onto the top pulley last worked great. I used a 6 point 19mm 3/8” drive socket, breaker bar and pipe. I was afraid of stripping the tensioner nut so I didn’t use a 12 point socket. Also, slow steady pressure on the tensioner. It’s hydraulic (on the Odyssey) so don’t force it all at once. Just keep easing it back and give it a little time to relax.

You are correct. The engine compartment is so crowded that it is hard to see inside once you put your hand there. You will need to have the diagram so you can visualize how you will run the belt. Thanks for watching.
