thanks eric. yours is the best diy video about serpentine replacement. im
gonna try it to save me $200 from a toyota dealer.
Thanks for the info Eric. I will give it a shot. I would have had no idea
how to do this if you hadn’t of posted this. Thanks again
You’re great man thanks for the help!
Eric,No other way to say good job,you say it the way it is.
I did the belts (2) on our car today. Lot easier after watching Eric for
months now I have gained lots of confidence from you. Saved lots of money
not bad for a 42 year old female. Thanks Eric.
your videos have saved me a boat load of cash! I greatly thank you!
I heard that if you put in a new water pump it could destroy your new
serpentine belts too??
So true about being a contortionist. Engineers would cry if they had to
work on their own creations. Great video.
If u have an electronic throttle body car I would put the car in clear
flood mode via holding down the gas pedal while cranking to intentionally
crank the car without starting the engine, and checking that the belt spins
correctly. That way if the belt grooves aren’t matched up, u don’t risk the
belt falling off pulleys and possibly snapping the belt. Just value added
safety.
I’d have liked to know what make and model of vehicle this is.
all hail ERIC!
what about removing a tensioner on a 2008 ford focus
Thank you Eric! Your a lifesaver
My 03′ Suzuki XL-7 uses 2 belts and it’s in a fairly tough spot (pffffftt
story of my life!) Anyways I have to remove the radiator hoses to get to
the spot. My car seems to have alot of parts I need to replace in tough
spots, I have to disconnect the drive line to get to the transmission & the
airfilter needs to be remove to get to the valve gasket….RAGE!!
Thank you – Watched your video, bought the belt and had it replaced within
the hour (20 minutes actually replacing it). Long arms – did not need to
get down and funky. Great video.
nice work 😀 thx 🙂
Changed my belts the other day and saved over a hundred bucks. Great video
what is the liquid thing you spray on it to avoid slippage?
how do you no wen to replace the tensioner homie?
i use my phone to take pictures of the engine periodically to help remember
where it all goes
one note to remember wen using a ratchet to release the tension, be sure to
have enough arc of movement to release all the tension or your rench will
hit a wall or whatever and be stuck there, its very hard situation to get
out of the wrench can get stuck
thanks Eric very useful seems straight forward enough let you know when i
have changed the belt on my citroen dispatch cheers
Question: I have a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville, Do you think I could replace my
serpentine belt also or will I need to lift the engine to do it?
Hi Eric, thanks for very helpful video. I own 2008 Mazda 3 1600 CC Z6 type
engine with serpentine v belt. I’ve seen many videos, but none for my car.
I was wondering do I have to align crankshaft to certain position or
whatever before I put new belt on my car ? I have new belt ready and
waiting for your answer to begin work. Also I will post a video on that
your subscriber
Yeah, cause it is connected to the alternator, which charges the battery.
If there is no belt, your car will run only on the battery, which will die
eventually in a few hours.
Excellent video. Thanks. You want people to be able to think it through.
You’re an excellent instructor.
you sure do make it easy for blondes to understand. 🙂 completed this task
with my mother!!
eric you are a god, my belt snapped tonight could this be the reason my
battery wouldnt hold charge?
Thank ya for the video 🙂 I have a 2002 Hyundai elantra sedan and a few
months ago the belt came off while driving home after work, luckily i just
pulled into the apartment area and was able to find a parking spot before
it completely stopped on me. We didnt have a release pulley. The car was so
rusted that we had to wedge a flat head screw driver against the cast and
the alternator and try to pry it from the structure it was pretty much
glued(Alternator was our “tentioner”) Success in the end!
Dude rocks! he’s more casual in this one…I’d hire the
