Hi – will I be able to see the timing belt without taking anything apart?
I suspect I may have a broken timing belt (starter turns the engine but
there’s no cylinders firing at all so just want to get in and have a look
without starting a whole project just to check.
Boss nut, I am sorry I do not know what that is. If you mean the crankshaft
pulley bolt, then there are several types of tools you can buy to hold
crankshaft in place while breaking it loose. Impact gun and air compressor.
I mention that there is a hole underneath the car where you can likely hold
the flywheel/crank still while breaking loose bolt, may need helper with
that. Sorry that this does not have more detail in the video.
Hey, some lady called me up, to change her Mom’s water pump, on a 1995
Mazda, 1.8. GLAD U had the Video. So VERY Professional! Thanks, dj
you don’t haft to take the plugs out to take the valve cover off
nice
@rickkristin Glad to help. I actually got a new camera and the aim is
different, and I have noticed some of my shots are showing nothing helpful
to anyone! Re-do! Thanks for watching. Todd
@Autotechviewpoint Ah! one more question. What tools MUST be handy while
doing the job? Since I only got one car and thats my lovely Miata thanks:)!
I have to say, I’m disappointed. I get that you went out of your way to
produce this video, but I find a lot of information missing. Too many
times, you talk about removing something. A cover, or whatever. No
indication of where the bolts are, how many, etc. Next thing I know, in the
next shot, it’s removed. And I’m in the dark. I suspect you really know
what you are doing, but many of us are not experts. Please, more info. I’m
learning more by doing my own, frankly.
Seriously, your video helped out big time. Its nice to see someone that is
able to hold the camera steady and talk into the mic. So often I try to
watch tutorials and the camera is pointing at the sky, and I can barely
hear the person speaking.
Very helpful. I have to change mine
you are so smart, geoffrey. please please let me date you.
How did you remove the boss nut? That is the hardest part, and I can’t do
it without moving the crankshaft.
Sorry that I missed stuff in this video for you. Sometimes the real job
needs to get done so I do not shoot as much, I got a tripod to try and
help, so I don’t have to hold the camera so much. Thanks for taking the
time to leave a comment, it does help to hear that stuff.
Well, thank you for your reply. I know doing video is not easy. Here’s the
kind of thing that drives me crazy, and I think just a verbal clarification
can help. Removing parts that have some miles of dirt and grease on them
often means guessing how many bolts/fasteners there are holding it. The
number of times I’d think I undid every required bolt, only to find the
part wouldn’t budge, leaves me guessing. Is there another bolt hidden?
Underneath? Do I hit it with a rubber mallet? Pull harder?
@mysteryimpt Ahhhh…. good question. Honestly I don’t really remember all
the tools that I used. That has been so long ago already… 🙁 I am trying
to add that kind of info into more videos… You should really have a good
set of all 3 sets of sockets, preferably in metric for the newer cars. 1/2
in. 3/8 in. and 1/4 drive socket sets in metric. I think the toughest part
on timing belt jobs is removing crankshaft pulley. Breaker bar and a way to
hold engine or pulley…HTH
Thank you for the video:)! I was wondering how long does it take to do the
timing belt and water pump? Thanks
@mysteryimpt Estimating – I would say doing it for the 1st time 3-4 hours
(with the right tools at least).
About to start my timing belt and water pump replacement. Thanks for the
video, well done!
I just wanted to apologize for my comments. I was unfair to the efforts you
made. I have started to do video episodes of my own experience, and it is
definitely not as easy as it looks. Thanks for the efforts you have made.
Dude you are a freaking genius. Thanks for making this video. Its very kind
of you.
