Thanks for watching.
Was driving to work this morning when all of a sudden my battery light came on and I lost my power steering. I drove it to work and finally looked under the hood, turns out my main/drive belt was gone lol, probably somewhere on the highway, this video is perfect
Exactly what happened to me driving home from work tonight! The first thing I noticed though was the smell of burnt rubber and we are having a blizzard up here in northern Michigan, so I thought my tires are spinning or something, but then the battery light came on and my power steering went.
I heard a sound and thought a rat got inside engine bay from shopping mall parking. Soon the battery light came on. I thought the rat might have cut some wires.
Just like you, I struggled to steer the car. Somehow managed to drive home. When I opened the engine bay, what I noticed was shredded drive belt.
Much better than the gates video, Thanks.
Thanks for the great video. Perfect for 2010 Forester.
I assume I only have to replace the serpentine, did you remove both belts anyways?
Love the video! Thank you for mentioning the safety glasses. You only get one set of eyes!
You're awesome man, thank you for filming and sharing this!
Thank you man 👍🏽
thank you for taking time to make and post this video... very helpful and clear. Good and realistic presentation... and nice that you explain tool sizes and show the simple way to check tension, etc.
Thanks man
Good video man. Helped me out a lot with my Forester! 👍
Nice clear video. I just tried this on my 2010 Forester XT Ltd. 2.5 Turbo. A parts search led me to the same Gates A/C stretch fit belt as you used, and the installation tool, and that went on OK, with quite a bit of effort and a breaker bar to rotate the lower pulley. For the front V- belt, a parts search indicated Gates K050345, which is a little bit longer than the one you showed, but still I could not get it on, even with the alternator at its lowest point. It needed another couple of millimetres, or I needed to be a lot stronger. I put the old belt back, and got Subaru's OEM belt, which looks a little bit longer than the Gates one. I will try to install it later. Also, you have to remove the engine cover in my Forester. It is held on by clips, which don't really do well after being taken off. I got cheap ones on Amazon, about a hundred of them for $13, but turned out they didn't fit either! I just got the Subaru ones, about $2 each, but expect them to fit. Just a heads up for anyone with a similar vehicle. Perhaps the extra you pay for OEM parts you save in frustration?
Yes after working on a Toyota dealership I know OEM is the best way to go
Good video bro , but yes I didn't show where the belt is positioned, around the crankshaft pulley . But as I said good video I'm about to do the same thing to my 2011 Impreza
Incredible presentation. Thank you so much.
Thanks
Good explanation and video. 👍🙏
Thanks
@@BulletSolano Today, right now I change front belt , and now everything good like normal. Before I have problem power steering tight. Subaru Forester'10. 👍🛣️💪🚘
Nice
Thank you for the great video
Thank you for this video was looking to do this on my sti. My older wrx was a lot easier.
Your welcome
Fantastic video thank you! That was easy.
Thanks
You're the real mvp
Is this belts fits for my Wrx Sti 2010 ej25 engine bro?
Lack of clear instruction for how to install the stretch fit using the tool. Mainly, where you position the belt on the bottom. Nearly broke a belt completely due to this.
How do we get the ac belt off without cutting it lmao
If it has to come off get a new one
You didn’t show the metal from the tool that holds the belt before you start winding it on. It ruined my belt, how hard was it to show how it wasn’t meant to be attached.
He's just here to help. Not his fault you broke your belt. If you didn't have this video at all you still would have had a problem. FOH with that nonsense. It's simply a guide.
@@yaboyzelly03 not a good one if he can't demonstrate something fundemental to the replacement, literally skipped the part of the belt seating.
@@kuroneko2719dong be complaining, maybe if u weren’t such a bonehead you wouldn’t of ripped your belt!
Bought the tool for $40 and it snapped, garbage quality
