This is my detailed procedure for replacing the serpentine accessory drive belt on a 2003 Honda Accord. It is the same or similar procedure for any Honda Accord, Civic, CR-V, Crosstour, Element, Acura TSX, ILX, or RDX with the K-series 2.4L 4 cylinder engine. In this video, I show an illustration on how the belt is routed around each accessory pulley and demonstrate the removal and replacement process. I also describe what to look for when the belt needs to be replaced as a routine maintenance item.
When equipped with the right basic tools and some patience, it is not a difficult job.

Thank you sir
I stripped the bolt on my idler. Belt started to slacken up, while i was trying to get the belt off it tightened back up, now I can't loosen it. I guess I'll just set the whole thing on fire
thanks for including the routing diagram
Quick question anyone. I was replacing my radiator there in the lower bottom are 2 small hoses one on each side or the radiator. They have some oil on it but I lose some during removing . Any one knows what type of oil is that ?? Looks black like motor oil but please I need answers . Thanks.
that's so easy I did in 2 minutes
Well done, this is what makes YouTube so great. How many miles/years were on that belt and tensioner? Thanks.
Once you've taken the belt off the top pulley, why not just cut the belt with some tin snips and thread it out that way without having to try to thread it off while still in a loop? You're tossing the belt anyway.
Thanks for the video…It took me like 15 minutes…I did grab the Harbor Freight Serpentine Belt (http://www.harborfreight.com/serpentine-belt-tool-kit-66344.html), put on a 14mm socket (not in the kit but worked perfect) and it made it super low effort.
Is this the same process for rsx type s 2003
great video!
Great video man, much appreciated!
