An Alan key works better. Just find the one that fits the snuggest and the tensioner will not start to slip. Or even bend the cheap tool. Alan keys are harder steel. I was helping a fellow mechanic out one day he forgot the belt routing and I had just finished one on the same engine different car not 5 minutes prior to him and asked if I could slip the belt on for him. No problem little buddy. As I was doing this his tiny tool…oops his soft tiny tool lol slipped out of the hole ( don’t you just hate when that happens! Lol!! ) and hit me in the face near my eye. As it was I was wearing my prescription safety glasses. Thought you were going to catch me on that one didn’t you? So lesson learned and class is dismissed 😊
This is why I love my old truck "1997 ford ranger 2.3" so easy to work on and reliable and when things do break its always in the 30-200 dollar range and can be replaced easily in an afternoon in my driveway with basic hand tools and a floor jack. My favorite vehicle so far one day I'll make it a race truck for being so good to me 😊
I’m so tired of waiting on people saying they will come fix it and tired of the shops screwing me.. I SWEAR IM ABOUT TO GO HOME AND TRYN DO THIS MYSELF!!
I would say, depends on what car you have. Some cars have very little space to replace the belt, but of course anyone can do it.. Just be patient, do your research about what tools you need and be careful,, you don’t want your tool loose contact with the tensioner while you are placing the belt,, you might hurt your hands bad.
Too bad not all of us have the luxury of having an engine lifter to take it out and actually have this much room for our hands and arms to install it this quick and easy. #GOALS
This looks like a TSI used in numerous VAG cars. Depending on which the belt might not be this accessible without either going in through the wheel well or you might be able to remove some mounted components to get at it from above.
@@jfGarage4k thanks , I recently used an old set of mini bike handle bars to put over the end of the 3/8drive ratchet for more leverage and locked it in place by using a tie down strap from the handle bars to the front end hardware behind a front tire lol Worked but the pin hole would be nicer and this one didn’t have one that I could see so 🤷🏻♂️it should be standard on those dang tensioners 🫠
im trying to learn from these videos to install a serpentine but nobody is showing the belt going around the fan. it has to go around the fan to get in there right?
Can you spray wd40 on the pivot area of the tensioner pulley? I noticed mine when i initially turn on the ac, a slight sound of a knocking noise occurs. But when my engine is warmed up. There's no knocking sound.
I work at an Audi dealer as a technician, I picked up a set of punches from harbor freight and got the one that was the perfect size for the tensioners on Audis and cut it into three pins that I now use for tensioners. Never failed me and they hold good.
@@Chris-un4ns all newer Audis use timing chains now. I think they stopped using belts around 2008 with the last of the TSI engines. The newer engines with chains don’t have many issues, all the V6 engines I’ve never seen any failures or timing faults. The V8 engines are the same. They do make a rattle noise on a startup but it’s nothing to worry about as long as it’s not longer than like 3 seconds. The 2.0 liter turbo engines, they have a lifespan of about 100k miles for the timing chains. It’ll set a fault for camshaft timing over advanced or something along those lines. In the rare case that one of the 2.0 liters does skip timing, it’s rare for it to skip enough that it takes out a valve or two. The newer pistons have indents in them for that purpose. I have seen it once in my two years at Audi.
@@Chris-un4ns also I have 5 Audis right now, one of them is a 2001 A4 1.8 turbo with the timing belt and I just make sure to check on the timing belt so it doesn’t let go. 2002 Audi S4, car is a junk car as I bought it just to swap parts into my A4. Engine blew up because previous owner didn’t service the timing belt (lol). 2013 Audi S5 and 2014 Audi SQ5, they both have the 3 liter supercharged engine and it’s by far the most reliable engine I think Audi has ever made. And then I have a 2016 A4 with the 2.0 turbo.

If it did not sit on all the teeth it will spoil the belt If putting wrong position could cause belt tension problem....so it's best to place it the original position Usually if I forgot how I put the belt...I don't need books or some sort....just Google it then you know how the serpentine belt position

It was on the verge of poppin out the whole time lol. Only thing holding it back was a tiny metal burr lol
Tie string to it so dont forget!
Finally a video with the engine removed. One can now see what the fingers and flashlights are pointing at in Ody abyss! Well done sir.
Ok, now do that with the engine in the car an there's 2 inches of clearance, without jacking up the engine and removing the mount.
Ha I have 1/2" clearance on mine can't even get an offset wrench in there

You're fortunate to have a car with front space, some have no space it can be a nightmare just changing that belt.
Your right i got lots of room, this D.i.y. was a process of a Engine swap better to chance the belt while i got tons of area to work

Which brand corn beef opener he used to hold tensioner in place ?? 🤭 I need that!
😂
😂 look like Grace foods
It somehow always leaves me a satisfying feeling when I put a belt on.
An actual helpful video thanks g
Thank you
Thanks For Sharing even few years ago xD
Our pleasure! 🙂
merci pour cette démonstration
Use an allen key. Strong not flimsy as shown here
Agree, I think it was a 5mm I used.
I like dat blue ratchet
That is a niiice ratchet
Very good work
Thank you! Cheers!
This was soo damn helpful
hi
Hi
Great when you have so much room to do this. On a east west mounted engine often is not enough room for hands or tools. Find that frustrating.... 😂.
Right been trying to put mine on for 3 days 😂
Toyotas are joke doing this
Mantap kerja yang bagus
Haven't seen that pin trick... 🤔 Nice 👍
Tnx po s video idol
How do I change an alternator on a 2017 Ford fusion SE Ecoboost 1.5
You gonna have to TH-cam search it. I'm sure tons of videos out doing that job
Is that a grenade pin?
😂
They come in timing belt tensioners
Nah. It's a Pip Pin!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅amazingly easy once you ca figure out how to get to the pulley/tensioner with the right tools
this is so helpful
I wish this was this easy on Mazda 3. Lol
Good mind easy work.
Great job
Dealer wants to charge me $211 to do this.
Shit thats alot.. your doing this job your self then? If so better to take the Radiator fan out before taking and install the belt
It's a Miracle !

Hahah 😁 This pin is made from China its a strong pin lol
@@jfGarage4k China pins are better?.. Lol ok
So that’s how ✋🏽

Good
I love you
I have a j35a8 out of 05 rl, does this video reflect the same process for the drive belt and tensioner/ pulley replacement on that car?
Nice job that'll be $200
$200 for installation $100 for checking if they need to be replaced and $500 for labor fees lmaooo
Thank you got to start looking out for that little hole
Great!!
Nice, which car is that feature on?
Lexus wants 700 to replace my belt, I think I’ll try it myself and save my hard earned money.
You can just take it to a regular shop doesn't have to be Lexus or do it yourself
Bro has all he room in the world my Car give me 1 1/2 inch clearance take it or leave it. I love my BMW 😅
Hi there is this same principle for Audi a5 2011 tsfi

Can u do that easy in a scion tc please!

Hello.. to remove the pulley.. do you have to lock it in place with the pin or you can just remove the belt and remove the pulley after ?
Does this work the same for all of the engines of the Tucson?
My belt broke off and when I installed it there is an exclamation mark and lock sign
Is there a certain direction I keep getting jumping one rib over
Take the belt off and Double check all the pulley, make sure they all tight & Not loose this cost to jump the belt
@@jfGarage4k ill do that today but i still think there's a directional on this belt
Is that a gernade pin
is it that hard to just hold it when you put the last part of the belt on lol

What make is this engine? Out of which car? Is the engine out of the car? Thanks…Jim
Nice 😊🥰
