1999 Miata timing belt pt1

[@marloon88]

These videos were done really well with great high quality resolution for someone who is new to changing timing belts/water pumps.
One tip i would provide others is to use a seal puller made by lisle to make guess work easier. The part is Lisle 58430.
Also use pick tools to remove O rings.

Thanks for the video man, very helpful, I just bought an 01 as a project car and I'm about to replace all this stuff.

My face curled when he laid the wrench on the lobes lol

[@blue9300]

I’ve seen where they take off the caps to the cam seals

[@Worsened]

do you know what bolt size is that bolt on the accessory belt tensionor? not the long one but the one that tightens the tensior to the bracket

[@Brizzle_718]

Matthew B Thanks for asking. I travel to Frisco on occasion, but I'm sure there are plenty of people in the Lone Star Miata Club that can help you with this. lsmiata.org

[@lelandlee9648]

how where you able to remove the harmonic balancer boss from the crank? did you need a special tool?

[@albumartist]

+Leland Lee From what I remember it was just a friction fit. I had a pair of needle nose pliers and pulled on it.

What mileage is that car ???

[@albumartist]

I haven't driven the car in a while, but I think it's close to 120k.
