This video saved me today! Our civics tensioner pull-up bolt broke and the water pump and into the bracket. After watching this video we was able to tackle the job and not even have to look up torque specs! Life saver video🙏🙏 thank you-Chris

@dovahzoh 2 года назад

Finally a repair video that doesn't just say "to install, just follow steps in reverse", but actually includes torque specs along the way. Great content. Tackled this job in 4 hours (mainly waiting for the penetrating fluid to work)

@TobyGunhazzard 4 года назад

I've always considered myself a fairly decent mechanic,but that "$#@%" 8mm tensioner bolt made me feel like a rank amateur! You guys made the operation a complete success ! Thank you ! "Long live,Fear No Fix !😀👌

@waleyefish9026 3 года назад

No one wants this job. Honda will try to sell you a new Honda over doing this. You did a great job in this video. Time is money in the repair world.👍👍👍👍

@brandonflores7239 2 года назад

So damn hard to remove the tensioner bolt (8mm Allen bolt)

@thomsonkev 3 года назад

Great Video here! You are obviously a seasoned pro tech. The way you talk about not rushing the job, using patience on stuck bolts, and use of torque wrenches to apply even torque on the pump and also makes it nice if somebody else ever has to go in there again. A+ job! I just happened to drop by because I bought a used Honda and wasn't familiar with this model motor and wanted to take a look before diving in. It will get the same treatment that you apply, been fixing cars for almost 30yrs now. Subscribed!!!

@nathanfitzgerald3248 4 года назад

Wow, well done! I'm attacking the tensioner job right now and this helped me with every question I had! Since I had 215Kms, I decided to do the water pump also! Thanks again guys! Great job

@jayvee8418 2 года назад

Gents, this is hands down the best video I have seen while looking to repair our '07 Civic. Excellent work! Thank you for taking the time to make quality videos!

@keithmeyers3718 2 года назад

I loved the added humor TIP: I had to do this job on my kids car. After knowing someone and then helping him to fix a snapped tensioner pivot bolt. A few days before as soon as the car was parked for the night, motor still hot I would sprayed penetrating oil on the bolts I also Jacked the passenger side up to help get the oil to flow into the block. I did this about 5 times and used different Pent oils each time. When the time came for the 8mm Allen I just lowered the motor. I know my luck so why push it. It came out with an impact but didn't take a lot. Best of luck to everyone just take your time and follow this video and all will be good.

@larrydrozd2740 2 года назад

I moved to Texas from Chicago 35 years ago. I have forgotten just how rotten and rusty and corroded cars get up north! I have a 2010 with 170,000 miles and it looks brand new under the hood and the chassis. No rust and all the fasteners still have inspection marks and plating. I feel for you guys working on these rusty things. That said, I do pressure wash my chassis and engine at least twice a year. I can easily see leaks and it keeps the corrosion to a minimum.

@mhee2b Год назад

Wow. Thank you. I felt like you were right by my side. I successfully changed the tensioner and belt. Parts were less than $100. Shop would have charged me $589. This is a professional video. (Luckily, my hex bolt came off easier than yours. Thanks for the warning and honesty on that one.)

@lincolnparc8897 Месяц назад

14:53 sometimes takes that long "patients don't push your luck" the best advice 😊

@hellishHAYDE 3 года назад

Did the job today. The 8mm Allen key is an engineering fail. Awkward from above. Ended up dropping the motor down using about a can of PB blaster. Hit it with the big impact gun to no avail, and finally broke it loose with a breaker bar and 3 feet of pipe. Slow consistent pressure worked well. Once loose finished the removal with the impact. Back together quickly with the longest task being the install of the belt.

My car was overheating. Turned out to be a stuck closed thermostat. To test thermostat, submerge the side that has the springs in a pot of boiling water using a wire like a coathanger so you don't burn your hand. If it doesn't open, replace it. Do no let the thermostat drop to the bottom of the pot, else it might get damaged due to the excessive heat. Good luck!!!

@markd9130 4 года назад

Excellent instructions. Nice job explaining what might go wrong and how to work safely.

@cakepower1 3 года назад

Guys here's some tips, when you replace the water pump start adding coolant and checking for leaks, the video tells you to check for leaks when everything is back together which obviously is not right. if the water pump gasket won't stay in place just get some coolant on your finger and rub it around the gasket to make it stick

@bcbjbggjh9102 Год назад

my mechanic strip the tension bolt and left my car at his house for a month. He didn't want to work on it anymore , i had to tow it back and rethread the hole... and did everything my self , that was couple years ago, so don't ho cheap and hire your brother in law as yr mechanic ... i learn the hard way

@TOXGAS 3 года назад

What is the exact size of the water pump pulley bolts? My 08 civic lx one the bolts keeps backing out bout halfway. My car made a clicking noise so took my tensioner ofd n was awful looking. Water pump pulley dug almost completely thru it. Plus pivot bolt was broke off i luckily got it out . ordered new bolt from Honda just like ur new pivot bolt and it was too small. So honda ordered another one which was diff too. Luckily a bolt shop had a bolt like my broken one. I got my car used so whoever worked on it musta put in a different bolt than the proper one smh. I replaced tensioner and still makes noises .noticed the bolt on water pump pulley loosened out again.

@fearedteddz2449 4 года назад

The Haynes manual calls for applying a thin layer of RTV sealant on top of the gasket before installing the pump. Is this necessary? I saw you guys just installed the pump as is

@cakepower1 3 года назад

Not sure what went wrong but the 10mm bolts on the water pump pulley... I got two of them out with a 10mm but one of them striped :/

@jeffreyevans6892 2 года назад

Very well done. How come you didn't use ant-seize on the old bolts ?

@sebparent3501 3 месяца назад

13:44 : Instead of lowering the engine, just drill a round hole in the frame in-line with the 8-mm hex tensioner bolt. Take measurement before drilling !

@pgreenx Год назад

I bought a snap on 8mm hex bit; didn’t break and the bolt came off easy on a 14 yrs

@byronboydstun2222 Год назад

Thank you guys so much this is the best video I have come across and this gives me the confidence I need to attempt the fix. Quick question though. If I have a coolant leak, and it isn't at either of the hoses visible at the front, but there is coolant near the water pump, is it safe to say it is leaking from the water pump's gasket?

@ibanez9599 4 года назад

Definitely well done explained

@alexandrealferan7144 3 года назад

Is it worth it changing this for another 5 or so years? I got a 170km Honda 2006 civic, prefer to get my car fixed and make it last another 5 years than buy another one.

@seekingthestokewithneeks6640 4 года назад

Awesome job guys. Would you say the weather in your area had a lot to do with why that 8mm tensioner bolt was so bad? I notice a lot of rust there on the car. Being from California I’d assume we might have a lot less issues with that kind of thing?

@LemurMonitors 4 года назад

Hi Neeks! You should have less rust then us, Canadian winters can be brutal on vehicles with the amount of salt and sand on the roads.If you have any other questions or suggestions please contact us any time! Regards,.

@WildBikerBill 4 года назад

I had the same question. I've got a 2011 Honda Civic EX with 161,000 miles, but it's lived on the north side of Atlanta, Georgia and now Austin, Texas and has nothing like the rust seen in the video. So I'm hoping there won't be the same issues with that bolt coming out.

@rbagley1982 3 года назад

With his comment about not sure why the replacement was needed, can you give some details as to what the engine was doing that lead you to replace the pump? The reason I ask is I’ve got a 2006 that continues to overheat, the last thing to change out before doing a head gasket job is the water pump. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

@0x00zero 3 года назад

Yes, want to know why the work was done in first place

@franklacour5656 3 года назад

@godisgoodatht 4 года назад

320000 miles on my 06 Civic and the water pump decided to fail the weeper is leaking bad water pump still pumps coolant through the system but it just gushes out through the weeper. Lights pulse and flicker which tells me the alternator is going out as well. I noticed you guys went ahead and replaced the alternator. Thanks that shows me how to switch that out as well. Thinking about replacing my headlamps soon wondered if you are going to do the same on this vehicle since they look pretty cloudy they might be restorable is there a video for showing how to change out the headlights?

@LemurMonitors 4 года назад

Hi! We don't have anything for headlamps but I will forwarded the suggestion along. Have a great day!

@papaemeritus4544 2 года назад

Ok, it is -really- as hard as the guys are displaying it. I got no luck as the last bolt of the water pump ripped off with 1mm thread outside the block... That job is total carnage... when you look at it: easy going, bruh... but thos fucking bolts... 2 of the tensioner, 5 of the wapu... The rest is a piece of cake. Had to smash sealant on the wapu and torqued the 4 remaining bolts with 2NM more. Its not leaking and running as it should.

@WildBikerBill 4 года назад

While assembling, get some grease on the battery terminal bolt threads. After assembling, apply some grease or spray on some oil or wax over those terminals and check them every once in a great while and you shouldn't have problems. Where there's a lead-acid battery, there's almost always a corrosion problem if you do nothing.

The 8mm Allen bolt does not want to come out. I dropped the engine as a last resort. I have access to the bolt, straight on and I cannot remove it with a battery powered impact wrench or air wrench. I'm getting frustrated and running out of ideas. This bolt can go to hell.

@mate53 3 года назад

I've watched 3 videos from these guys so far and in every single one they take the alternator out...

@WildBikerBill 4 года назад

I have a stupid question: On the battery, why do you disconnect ground first, and connect ground last? I'm in the computer hardware business and there it is the opposite, so I'm confused.

@LemurMonitors 4 года назад

One of the biggest reasons is safety - if the ground cable is still connected and you go to remove the positive lead it's a lot easier to hit a wrench, your hand, etc on the body of the car or other bare metal surfaces then you've got an unintentionally complete circuit.
