I definitely will. The more I think about it the more ticked I am that he didn’t offer to replace it right then. I really don’t know how he got the belt on, but I do know it took him much longer than it was supposed to (instead of 30 mins it took him about an hour and a half). Next time I’ll check your videos and if I can do something myself, I will! Btw, Vegas rules!!! We go there at least once a year, it’s awesome. No other city quite like it in the world for a good time.. Thanks again man!!!

I don’t know how they put on the new belt since the tech broke the casted bolt. so maybe they can only do it when you need something else replaced, like the alternator. but it’s better to have it replaced now. they must have pryed on something and use leverage to get the belt out. by doing that, something else can break. just have them replace it before it becomes a bigger problem in the future. thank you

That’s what I will do. The guys there are usually really cool and helpful, I think the mechanic may have just been afraid to tell his manager he broke it or something. He claimed the hydraulic piston that keeps the tension was stuck and the amount of force he had to put on it caused it to break. He was very nice about it, but never offered to replace the whole assembly. Btw, would it be possible to replace the belt with that broke? I already beat you to the subscribe, it’s done! Thanks!!

go back to that shop and have them replace it. they broke it, so they should have replaced it at no cost. things break on a car at anytime. if that shop had any integrity, then they should have replaced it. Bet you would not go to them after they make this right. It’s their fault and they need to make it right, if not…then spread the bad word about the shop. Karma happens. Good Luck and Welcome.

Oh.. I see now at 0:45 that is what you are using to help push the tensioner down with to release the belt, correct? Do you know if that bolt head is broke off, will I be able to replace the belt again without having to replace the entire tensioner? I realize now this could be more serious than I was led to believe. Again thanks so much for any help!

88bmyvegas, thanks for posting the helpful video. Unfortunately I just took my 04 Camry XLE to the shop to let them replace the serp belt and they accidentally broke off the casted bolt looking thing (which is at the top of the tensioner @ 4:22). They got the new belt on and acted like it was no big deal. They said the tensioner would still work fine, but after leaving I started getting suspicious about it. Do you know what that bolt head is for? Does it help remove the tensioner? Thanks again!
