Viewer beware, there's some plastic shielding not shown in the video that will prevent you from getting at a safe jack point under your motor. It might have been removed already on your vehicle, but if not it will be a pain to take off.
It’s all a terrible design which I think was done on purpose. I’m replacing my water pump and majority of my time is being spent just trying to access the water pump 🙄😒
Yes that is confusing. I think what he did was take off the belt, remove the old tensioner and installed a new tensioner that had the pin in place, then he pulled the pin once the new belt was on. Would like to find a video of someone inserting a pin to hold the tensioner back like the Service Manual mentions.

You do not need to remove the mount with 3 bolts just support the engine an remove engine mount from the top an install the new belt
That is the dumbest design that you got to take off the motor mount to change a belt
It’s all a terrible design which I think was done on purpose. I’m replacing my water pump and majority of my time is being spent just trying to access the water pump 🙄😒
I agree! I noticed almost everywhere in the system, Chevrolet made it as difficult as could be.
Where did the pin come from? Did you put it there? Was trying to find where you put in pin or ? Need to know ?
Yes that is confusing. I think what he did was take off the belt, remove the old tensioner and installed a new tensioner that had the pin in place, then he pulled the pin once the new belt was on.

Use a screw with a single eared plastic pex attachment for a little handle
Do you have a model number for the bolts on the bottom?
Good stuff. Thank you.

@@YOUCANIC which 3 need to be replaced? The ones you didn't take out from the top?
Where exactly do you place the jack under the engine? On the oil sump? I suppose that could deform it.

@@YOUCANIC I logged in there and I had no search results. I have a Chevrolet Sonic 2019 model.
is it all the same on 2016 trax?
Does moving the block with the jack cause any damage to the other mounts of the block?
Absolutely not. If you don’t over do it
Does that pin come with the new tensioner? And why do you need to replace the tensioner?
Thanks for your comment! Whether the pin comes with the new tensioner depends on the specific part kit you purchase. Replacing the tensioner is important to ensure the correct tension in the system for efficient operation. More information can be found on our website, www.youcanic.com.
