Wow. I can easily follow every step. One of the best timing belt video for
Hyundai Elantra. Thanks!

Really good video, thanks!

Pat Firebaugh says:

Great video thank you so much for posting. You explained it very well and
should save people a lot of money on this. You can buy the entire kit with
the new water pump, belt and tensioners at NAPA very reasonable. Doing this
yourself could save you about $500. Thanks again for all the help.

Very good point on not over tightening the timing belt. To torque down the
crank pulley there are an assortment of special tools that either grab it
by wrapping around it or there is a special tool by Hyundai that uses the
holes in it to keep it in place. I have always used my impact without any
problems, but your way is the next most common way of doing it, also if you
have a manual you can usually jam something on the teeth of the flywheel to
keep it in place.

really good video!! I went through this couple of years ago on my wife
Tucson. On this engine is critical to have the proper tension.As my first
timing belt job I over tighten the belt which resulted on a very whining
engine. After loosen it a little bit was OK, The other point that I wanted
to see and is not on the video is to torque down the crank pulley. In my
case I jammed a screwdriver from the pulley opening to the block. I was
wondering if there was another way to do it. Thanks

Scott Spencer says:

Thanks for posting this…it was immensely helpful. Did my son’s 2005
Elantra, and couldn’t have done it without your excellent video.

Daniel Latini says:

Very high quality video. Did your tensioner have some sort of a pin hole to
lock it in place? The factory guide mentions this but is thin on the
details – I’m not really clear on what to do with that

RatchetsAnd Wrenches says:

I made it with that in mind 🙂 thanks for your comment.

RatchetsAnd Wrenches says:

Hi, this is a 2.0L. I haven’t done a timing belt job on a 2.4L sonata but
it shouldnt be that different. GL and thanks for your comments!

RatchetsAnd Wrenches says:

I think you should be fine but it also depends on your air gun. But if you
can get it off with your setup generally speaking you can get it back on
and have it tightened down with enough torque. gl

RatchetsAnd Wrenches says:

I have a 30g 2hp air compressor, you can always use the starter to loosen
it and tighten is with your impact enough to drive to a shop to have them
tighten again for you. gl

Dillon Brennan says:

Cool thanks bro! Good video 🙂

michael ivanoff says:

You stated the year make and model but not the engine size. I was wondering
if this is the same engine that is in my 2004 Hyundai Sonata base model,
which had the 2.4L 4 cylinder engine. Could you please post back if this is
the same engine? Thank you and also wanted to say great job tutorial, well
done.

Dillon Brennan says:

When you removed your crank pulley with your impact wrench, what size
compressor were you running? I’m worried that when I go to do my boy’s car
that I’m not going to be able to get this bolt off….

Dillon Brennan says:

i have a 20 gal which i believe is 2 hp…think that will supply me with
enough torque to get that bad boy back on?
