A well done video and those who love to wrench will find this a big $$$ saver to spend on better things. The more you learn your ride the less you rely on others.
Hey I have a issue with my 15mm hex head bolt that holds the tension pulley the hex part rounded out! Can u help me? How does the bar for the tensioner come off??
Great video, but I would offer a suggestion. I would start the engine and run it, at least for a short while, and do a visual inspection of the belts before covering them up, even if it's simply for peace of mind.
I suggest using FCP Euro's belt and pulley replacement kit, available here: www.fcpeuro.com/products/porsche-accessory-drive-belt-kit-boxster-cayman-911-adk0029p
Great video, thanks. One question however - if not replacing the tensioner after all, why buy the kit that includes the tensioner? There are other kits that consist of just the belt and the three pulleys - is that not a better buy?
I didn't price out the parts without the tensioner before looking into what the process was to replace the tensioner. It may be cheaper without it but then again, it's a small part. And I'd rather have it on hand just in case.
I really want one of these cars but I really really don't want the maintenance costs and I'm not skilled enough to maintain myself!!! So I'll stick with Toyota and maybe get a GT86 😬
Hey Pat do you do work on other people porsche cayman vehicles? I see you got your cayman about a month or two before I acquired mine we have about 5k difference in mileage. I'm from Maryland as well.
@@jimsego it became a 2 man job, but we were able to hammer a wrench on it hard enough to get the leverage we needed to undo it. If anyone ever needs to take that thing off again though, good luck to them...
I don’t advise anyone to do similar things in other hands I would advise people to drop their vehicle on dealerships workshop for more safer and gets 5 years warranty on everything they repair. Believe me dealerships are better for saving money and time
Thanks!
Thank you!

Awesome job Pat 👍👍
Thank you Rell!
Wow, this car is super easy to work on! So far its been all lies regarding how difficult it is to work on exotics.
Learned a lot. Just subscribed.
Did the PPI tell you about these things or did you know that you have to this when you bought it?
Well done 👍🏻
Thank you Evan!
My guy Pat!!!!
Did you notice that I changed out the bridge to no-where???
You could have loosened the othe alternator bolt tilted it up and removed the bolt instead of bending the bulkhead

Good to meet you. I don't work on other people's cars unless they're loved ones. I don't have any liability coverage to dot hat.
Do you do all of the maintenance on this car?
I do as much as I can.
Must be the pulley’s belt noise
My belt was quiet. I decided to swap it out due to how long it was on the car as preventive maintenance.
I got screwed because that stubborn bolt got stripped
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear it!
Got to ask, how did you fix it?
