Thanks for watching.

Good work you were very detailed

RSpi007 says:

Honda’s usually do not have timing belt issues before they are due replacement. You can pull the accessory belt and start the car. If you still hear the noise, there is likely an issue in the timing belt path. Replace it and related items.

Did the noise go away at all? AC compressors, alternators, etc can also go bad and make noise.

great video!! you need to make more. having a problem with 2007 pilot 75,000 miles on it. sounded like power steering was going , replaced pump and o ring , hose, still making that groaning noise, also fluid leaks out. could timing belt need to changed? any ideas? Thank’s

RSpi007 says:

Pull the accessory belt and start the car. If you still hear the noise, turn the car off until you can get the timing belt and related items replaced. If the noise goes away, the noise is in one of the accessories, like the ac compressor, alternator, power steering pump. Put a wooden rod to it to figure out which.

RSpi007 says:

You are welcome. Glad it helped.

Todd Appleton says:

Very helpful. I have the factory service manual and it says nothing about removing the serpentine tensioner and black part of the motor mount. Your video made it more clear and saved me lots of time and frustration (and money!!). Thanks!

RSpi007 says:

Thanks Brad, and thanks for watching. 

Brad Crandall says:

Another great video Robert. Your steps are clear and the video is well put together. Thorough without being confusing.

RSpi007 says:

Good. Thank you for watcing. 

weedwackerbob says:

Thanks for taking the time – It was real helpful to me.

RSpi007 says:

Just take your time, you should be fine.

RSpi007 says:

Many after market parts distributors sell quality parts. Often I get parts from suppliers that have the same manufacturer stamped on them than the parts that was on the vehicle when new. Same exact rollers, belt manufacturers make good quality belts. It is rare to purchase a part that fails within the recommended time change schedule.

Usually the part that fails is a part that was NOT changed when the belt was replaced. Replace the belt, both rollers, the tensioner and the water pump.

Glad it helped you understand what it takes to get the job done.

impressive step by step video. I’ll think I’ll take my 2006 to the shop partly because of the tools needed but this is quite a job. Enjoyed the video. thank you.

sciroccodriver says:

Great video. I bought a 2007 just a few days ago and I’m an old pro at timing belts on audi, Vw, and toyotas…. This will be my first honda. I swear the Japanese make timing belt jobs so much easier. Great video!

RSpi007 says:

Thanks for the tips and for watching.

FYI-use a impact 19mm socket because normal ones arent strong enough to break the crank loose..and set the crank to TDC#1 on the forward cam using the sighthole with the cover and pulley still installed. They also sell special pliers that remove the plastic pins without breaking them..wayyy better than using a screwdriver.

RSpi007 says:

Glad it helped. 

Noel Estepa says:

Great video I just did my timing belt on a 2008 pilot 4wd following the steps you did. My crank bolt was tough has hell to break loose broke my breaker bar. Lucky it was a craftsman and sears replaced it for free once u get that bolt off the rest is easy. Awesome video.

RSpi007 says:

Yes, it can be a little scary. You can go at it and if things don’t go together as outlined you can always have it towed to a mechanic to finish it up.

wslwang says:

I must say this is the best instruction I have ever watched. So much detail information and I thank you for doing this. However, I am still scare to do it myself .

I have a 2008 Honda Pilot which is fast approaching 100K. I am going to change the timing belt, and your video was a big help on insight for the J35A1 engine, thanks.
