Thank you for posting this video it is very helpful. Tomorrow morning I
have to replace the alternator and while I’m at it I’ll also replace the
belt.
Sounds like you were quoted for a time belt based on that price which is
funny since the 2nd generation CRV has no timing belt. Can’t imagine any
shop charging more than $200 to change out an accessory serpentine belt on
a CRV. Even $200 is high. Between 100-150 would be the norm based on the
cost of a belt and an hours labor at most independent shops.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge. I like how
you gave three different tool combinations for loosening the tensioner bolt
for people who don’t have the official tool.
I changed it in 2011 at 129k miles. There is no mileage or time
recommendation by Honda. The manual says inspect the tensioner indicator
and change when out of normal range.
May have to adjust the idle!!! Thanks for the video, I changed the belt
today @ 151264 miles and it was in great condition. Interestingly later I
started it and it stalled. Hmm stalled, again and again. Ok I thought old
battery (4yrs with lots of road trips) with new belt, causing the
alternator to do weird things with the battery, Got a new battery. Nope
stalled. Then adjusted the idle. Bingo. The car purrs. Great Video
Thanks for uploading this. Used this vid and the 2003 Honda CR-V serpentine
belt change vid to change out the belt on 2002 CR-V to bypass the AC
compressor after black death. Bypass belt #7pk1388.
This is one of the best “how to” videos I have ever seen. Thank you for
taking the time to do such a great job. The alternative tools comments were
outstanding.
Thanks again. Using your video to do repair and maintenance second time
already.
Damn good video, I wonder what Honda charges to change the belt?
Honda wanted to clean my battery terminals for $45.00 dollars.

@mykemcc1 might want to clean the IACV I did this to my civic after 120k
and no bouncing idle, ran a lot smoother.
once you remove the splash shield, can’t you just cut the exposed belt with
heavy duty cutters and then pull it out from on top
very helpful tips on the different options with the tools to use to be able
to pull the tensioner that you showed. I really appreciate it. thanks
Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video. I used a similar method to change the belt on my 2006
Accord. The breaker bar with the 14mm combination wrench worked nicely!
It has a distribution chain
@yawwho2001 save me TIME and moolah
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together!

I really love how you showed all the alternative tools for doing the job.
That was REALLY helpful. Wonderful video overall.
Nope no belt, it’s a chain! You’re free of Costly Timing belt jobs!
Dude! you Rock, this video saved time me some and moolah. Bravo! Bravo!
Just learning the use of multiple tools to get leverage was great! I was
quoted $500 by a shop to change the belt..now I will only pay for belt:)
Thank you so much for sharing this! You saved me a lot of money.
