I did, in fact, remove the idler pulley first and found I did not have to undo the engine mount. The idler is coming off anyway with the tensioner. To get the idler off the new tensioner, I put the tensioner on the engine with the two easy bolts and removed the pulley. Then I put in the harder bolt and replaced the pulley. The torque for the P/S pump and all three bolts on the tensioner was listed at 16 ft/lbs. The pulley is 41 ft/lbs. This is for my 2003 CRV. Thanks for the video!

You sir, deserve way more likes and views! Thank you for this. This makes life so much easier than having to go trough boring shop manuals!! I've got the nasty squeel going on in my '02 CRV. It started out when driving trough big puddles of mud. or just water. got worse and worse kept going for longer.... Now it's constantly there at every RPM. I think it's a bit dull that there is no DECENT splash screen underneath the V to shield these parts especially when you take it off-road a lot. When I'm at it I'm gonna see if i can improvise some shielding underneath and maybe leave that in a reply video here. Just ordered a new belt and tensioner. I'll be fixin' her up as soon as I get my parts in. Once again! Thanks for this video! Kind regards from The Netherlands.

Dude in another vid got the lower bolt out by jacking up the front right, removing the tire and partially removing the inner fender skirt. He did have to take two small bolts out to remove the dipstick tube but after that was out of the way the lower bolt was accessible. He didn't remove the fluid reservoir or the power steering pump. I think his way looks easier to be honest with you. Thanks for the video all the same!!

My brother who used to be a mechanic, told me to use a pick and thoroughly clean out the grooves on pulleys like the power steering pulley, because anything caught in the grooves (ex. grit, rocks, etc) create high spots for the belt to ride up on and create premature wear (black rubber deposit streaks or tracks), left from the back side (flat side) of the serpentine belt onto the tensioner pulley. You can see these rubber deposit track on our old tensioner pulley that you pulled off in your video.

Without even looking in the comments, I’m sure someone already mentioned that the Honda manual and tech practice is to relieve tensioner pressure from underneath, as well as using a serpentine belt tool, which even if used only once is a good investment.

Great vid! Mine does not have a power steering reservoir /pump so I think they used just a pulley part sort of identical to the PS one instead - guessing my 2013 CRV has electric power steering. Should make it easier but would like to replace that idler pulley as well (power steering pulley top one) for lack of a better word. I wonder if it just has a bearing or just replace entire part. Thanks for commentating back

@BudgetMechanicHawaii
@BudgetMechanicHawaii 8 лет назад
Yes you can just replace the tensioner pulley (it did look bad) but when tensioners go bad its very often the spring loaded arm that starts to fail. when it doesn't press against the belt hard enough the belt can begin to squeal. In this case I figured it was the spring.
@deseremere
@deseremere 6 лет назад
All, you do not need to remove the engine mount for the tensioner replacement. Just remove the pulley and you get full access to the 3rd bolt. For water pump replacement you may want to remove the mount unless want to deal with crankshaft pulley.

It's possible it might work, I've never tried! But it would still be a tough reach. It also mean you'd have to remove the pulley from the new tensioner and bolt back on once the tensioner was installed. For me, it seems about the same amount of work. Let us know if you try the other way though! Thanks for you thoughts

@BudgetMechanicHawaii

Without being there to hear it I can't be sure but, I would guess a "knocking sound" would not be the belt tensioner. If it was the tensioner it would be more of a squealing sound from slipping.

I didn't think of doing that... I got the job done and it took just shy of 2 hours. I jacked the car up and took the wheel and fender liner off to get to the lower end of the belt. I was fighting getting it off of the AC pulley... I think that was a great idea to take the idler pulley off! Good tip.
@BudgetMechanicHawaii
@BudgetMechanicHawaii 8 лет назад
Sorry for late reply I've been out of the country! It looks like you've already figured it out but for the record I did consider taking the wheel off and going from underneath but there were still things in the way. Like you found out though, removing the actual tensioner pulley makes accessing the 3rd bolt much easier.

That is very possible. If the pulley bearing starts locking up it will drag on the belt and destroy it.
@adamn7516
@adamn7516 2 года назад
You can wrap a bungee cord aroung the belt and hook ends of the bungee to a spot near the rear of the headlight. Obviously the cord needs to be short enough to maintain the tension. That should keep it up and out the way for the duration of the rest of the job. Could tie it off with a simple piece of wire or string.

However, I was able to borrow some tools from a neighbor to get it done. I didn't need to take off the engine mount. I removed the pulley on the tensioner that was being removed. This helped a lot however putting on the new one was challenging. I honestly struggled with the belt at the end, yet persistence paid off. Thanks! The excellent video and all the comments made this go smooth.

@BudgetMechanicHawaii
@BudgetMechanicHawaii 7 лет назад
You will see some motion in the tensioner arm while the car is running, though it shouldn't be out of control either. Lights flickering is certainly an electrical issue. The only thing electrical to do with this belt is the alternator. Check how many volts are at your battery terminals when the car is running and ensure its 13.5 volts or more.
@Gurucwd
@Gurucwd 6 лет назад
Had the tensioner replaced 8 mos ago by a technician who was hurried and incapable. The tensioner now is visibly vibrating from the bottom of the mount of the tensioner assembly. I am guessing it’s starting to loosen as it was not torqued correctly. While I don’t have the impact gun nor the extensions for accessing the last bolt is there a way to get to the bolt from the wheel well?
@BudgetMechanicHawaii
@BudgetMechanicHawaii 6 лет назад
R Anand are you sure it's not just the arm of the tensioner bobbing up and down from the pressure of the belt? If so, that's normal. If it's actually the tensioner assembly coming loose I'm not sure about reaching through the wheel well, tho that looks like you may run into the frame anyway. Let me know how it goes!
@Gurucwd
@Gurucwd 6 лет назад
You maybe right I am going to check the center bolt st least and see if that’s on tight. If that’s normal motion then the unit vibrates far too much. I used a gates tensioner . Is there a better brand or did you use oem?

ATG says if your belt is getting chewed up & side ripped, check by hand cranking the Crankshaft Bolt. ATG also says always replace the VTC Strainer Gasket Filter (don't waste your timing in cleaning) once you got the Belt Tensioner out. ATG says 81% of the time your Belt Tensioner is about to go south, if it is over 8.2 years or has over 253km. ATG's VTC Strainer Gasket Filter aged is known to caused oil leaks & ATG famous P2646 & P2647. ATG says DO NOT attempt to use engine cleaner if you have *oil sludge. * ATG sugguests if this is your SUV, remove the Valve Cover, Coils, Spark Plugs & Oil Pan (a nightmare task to performs) and clean all that oil sludge out by manually hand crank the Crankshaft Bolt.

If you buy at store you have to pay full prices. *ATG highly recommends to buy the Tensioner Unit, Serpentine Belt & VTC Gasket Filter. If that Tensioner's Spring goes bad, you got to do it again. If that Serpentine Belt snapped, good luck making it home. If you don't you CR-V to buckle like a wild bull, change that gasket filter. Saving $500+

I paid a garage to do this, and brought them the new parts. Next day the thing squealed for the first 5 miles of driving. I gave it a couple of weeks, thinking the belt might need to break in, but it just kept squealing the first 5 miles each time I drove it. I looked in the shop manual and it specifies aligning the arrow mark on the base of the tensioner with a mark on the articulating arm of the tensioner... the mechanic never did that. It also specified torquing bolts, and he never touched a torque wrench. I took it back and told him these things and he asked what I wanted him to do. I said fix it right, and make the squealing stop. He acted bothered. He loosened a bolt, put all his weight on a breaker bar to force the arrow to align with the mark, had another guy sock down the bolt (still no torque measured), and let off on the breaker bar. Said there you go. I checked and the arrow still was at least a half inch off the mark, and frustrated, left. It squealed worse than before, and it squealed the entire time I drove it home. I just parked it, and figured I'm screwed. I would have done the job myself, but I'm a disabled veteran and have a lot of physical issues that make it really hard to be bent over for more than a couple of minutes. The shop owner knows it yet he stiffed me for more than the estimate, and they totally messed it up. Four days later I had to get groceries, so I just got in, started it, and to my surprise there was no more squealing. I got my food, came home and parked it. Next day I drove one mile and heard the new belt coming apart, turned around and went back to the marina (I live in a boat with my dog). The belt is still on, but pieces started coming off the sides. He had it so tight there was zero play. Bad garage, name is Rapid Auto Repair, in Merritt Island, Florida. Mechanic is the owners son, and owner supports his son even when his son does shabby work. I'll have to pay all over again for parts, wait until they arrive, have it towed to my brothers house and do the work myself. But I noticed that you never aligned the arrow and the mark, never torqued anything, and didn't even mention these things. Do you not refer to the shop manual before commencing work? Just curious, because as I mentioned, my (ex)mechanic didn't either, and look where I am now. Why would Honda specify these things if they didn't matter at all? There must be a reason. I can't afford Honda mechanics. You have to be rich to afford them. And I've been fighting the V.A. for over 10 years for my "service connection". Been struggling just to eat each month.

Hi! Sorry to hear about that mess! Those marks on the tensioner are for determining if the belt has stretched too much and needs replacement. As the belt ages and stretches the auto tensioner moves farther out to take up the slack. In theory you're supposed to be able to quickly look at the marks and determine if you need a new belt or not. The problem is that many aftermarket belts aren't exactly the same length as the honda ones so even if they're new, they could be showing bad adjustment on the tensioner. Same goes for aftermarket tensioners, you can't always trust their marks. So I'm not sure how your man "adjusted" the marks on the auto tensioner unless he somehow stretched the belt with his breaker bar (which would explain why it then squealed worse?). Short answer, I don't trust the marks. But I do trust the squeal to tell me something is wrong. If the tensioner and belt were new, then you are looking at maybe: -broken or low quality new parts (happens! just did a hyundai alternator belt that squealed right from the package! bought a higher quality one and no problems) -Incorrectly routed belt (was it riding partially off one of the pulleys somewhere?) -A different faulty component creating extra "drag" on the belt (i.e. is your AC compressor, alternator, power steering pump going bad or out of fluid? You would probably know that by other symptoms) Keep in mind a belt that has been stretched from improper installation, or overheated by rubbing on something needs to be replaced even if its not old. The rubber can get soft or misshapen and will squeal no matter which way you instal it. I still use shop manuals from time to time, (or the BUDGET way: auto zone's iOS app includes free repair manuals for most car models!!!) I use a torque wrench whenever I can on sensitive stuff where fluid seals are at stake, like water pumps or tranny pan gaskets, because obviously too tight will crush the gasket and too loose will leak. But the most important reason to use a torque wrench is the make sure there's EVEN PRESSURE all the way around your part, so that the metal doesn't warp or have uneven pressure points. But sometimes you just can't fit a torque wrench into a spot and you have to do your best to tighten all the bolts evenly. On applications like this, without a fluid barrier involved, I'm not terribly worried about it being the perfect even tightness, I'm just going to snug things down as evenly as I can. Hope this helps!

Hey Josh, thanks for your advice. I feel pretty lame now. I was looking at the wrong page, the belt tensioner inspection page. So the torque wrench and the marks alignment plays no role in installation. Duh. I can't believe I missed that. Turned the page and there was the Installation, straight forward, simple job. I've installed them on American cars, this is my first Honda. And you need tiny hands to get down in there. That being said, they installed the tensioner right, but they misaligned the belt grooves on the pulley ridges on the alternator, so the belt started cutting on the outer rim of the pulley wheel, and belt strips started peeling off and slapping. Had to buy another new belt and did the removal/install myself with my brothers help. I'm getting old, so I like him being here in case. Anyway, thanks again. Thanks for your videos, too. Good stuff.

Sorry for the late reply I hope you've resolved this by now. In any case, if there is no belt you might have bigger issues but I'm unable to diagnose without actually being there. I would definitely recommend getting someone to look at it. Sorry I can't be more help!

it would be much easier to remove that 12mm bolt under the pulley if you remove the pulley first.

Enjoyed the how to video but... I noticed you didn't torque anything down (or least you didn't show or tell us that you did). I'm a big proponent of torquing critical parts to spec.. IE...' tentioner pulley and engine mounts. That's just my opinion. Great step by step illustration though.

Why didn't you just replace the "Pulley, Idler"?
@BudgetMechanicHawaii
@BudgetMechanicHawaii 6 лет назад
Replacing the idler wouldn't solve the problem of reduced belt tension. The spring inside the tensioner wears out and stop pressing hard enough on the belt which would make it slip and squeal. If the idler bearing is going out then yes, that would be enough but didn't suspect that bearing

Does your 2010 CRV makes this noise when you are stopped and turn the wheel slighty when it has been driven for 20 minutes or more. You can hear it when pulling in driveway. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YiUUofweITc.html

Hi I am starting to think it is the alternator when the bearing gets hot or car driven for more then 20 minutes hot. The bearing is probably bad. So I used my Innova 3160e alternator testing function and I put on in the ciagrette lighter to. Sometimes the voltage will stay at 12.6 to 14.1 during ilde and after you put a load on it. The scanner tested alternator is bad. I have no warning lights on my dash. What do you think Since I replaced Power Steering Pump, Drive Belt Tensioner all with genuine honda parts brand new.
@BudgetMechanicHawaii
@BudgetMechanicHawaii 7 лет назад
Its pretty hard for me to help diagnose without the car in front of me. But I can tell you that an alternator should be putting out at least 13 volts (ideally more like 14), if its less than that it isn't properly charging and should be checked and/or replaced.

Happy New YearThank you so much Budget. I finally found the problem to correct that ticking noise. When the car gets hot to the point Catalytic Converter is super hot. I think the honeycomb inside is broken. It rattles when you turn the steering wheel because it bumps up the rpm. When that Catalytic converter pipe was hot I grab it and shook it and it was the same noise I was hearing. Well at least I know what is the problem i am not gonna fix it until it has a check engine light. Thanks

@BudgetMechanicHawaii

I'm not sure about the acura. Sometimes those "cross-over" models can have slight differences. I recommend you look at a new tensioner for your car and see what it looks like compared to your old one.
