Holy shit thank you so much i thought i would have to remove the entire tensioner assembly which would be a pain

[@RBTheMechanic]

Oh yeah that will never come out the Allen is cent is jammed!!! I say no to water pump on these cars unless customer agree to go for it even if it brakes snaps

[@fadys1394]

Thanks man

[@willxl2137]

This is the easiest method of fixing this issue that I've seen. No need to tackle the pivot bolt.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup and problem is good luck taking out the bolt in the vent the Allen key it’s usually jammed up and will take days if u penetrate it with WD40 and try over and over.

[@willxl2137]

@@RBTheMechanic Yea. And if it goes bad, it can go REALLY bad.

[@joshaden6533]

You don't have to remove the ac compressor. The tensioner can pivot up enough to get to the bottom tensioner bolt. I just did this exact job on my 2010.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Ok I couldn’t get it

[@jabraan1360]

I just did it on a 2007 Honda Civic and I can confirm that you don’t need to move the ac compressor. The tensioner strut pivots upwards and the screw is easily accessible

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@jabraan1360 ok

[@colchronic]

Maybe more accessible with a deep torx socket

[@ohbeee]

@@jabraan1360 do you know where I can get that part or what the part number is? Also does that torx bolt need to be torqued down or just snug to where it won’t move? If so what torque should it be at?

[@user-bq2qb7zj7h]

All you have to do is jack up the car takeoff the right tire the inner wheel wall in your right there

[@ajystudiox1591]

This guy making things more hard then usual

[@RBTheMechanic]

No not hard at all

[@ohbeee]

Where do I find that part with out getting a whole new tensioner? Or do I have to buy a new tensioner and remove that piece

[@RBTheMechanic]

U can check online amazon or eBay but most likely it will come with whole thing

[@rgb]

That compressor should have 2 more bolts on it on the bottom.

[@nike2126]

How much do you charge to change it and the tensioner and belt ?? Need this done on my civic

[@RBTheMechanic]

$190 labor only

[@guccicakes6238]

I have an intermittent rattle everyonce in a while - when I press a screen driver against it, the rattle goes away... would this work on mine? the pivot bolt is too seized and I can't get it to open

[@RBTheMechanic]

I’m not sure what u mean u press screen

[@juancruz3606]

i got rattlesnake like noise when i accelerate to a higher rpm. any idea what it could be i got a 2006 honda civic lx

[@RBTheMechanic]

It can be engine mount or shields on exghust

[@juancruz3606]

Thank you

[@manuj7022]

You have part number for the shock?

[@RBTheMechanic]

No sorry unless I show it in the video

[@OscarMartinez-jb1op]

Did it fix issue

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup 100%

[@MrJOHNY347]

Can I do this without removing the alternator a water pump pulley ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Ur gonna have to remove the bottom bracket like I show bolt wount have access

[@JayAR_YT]

Can this make it sound like a rod knock at idle

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup

[@JayAR_YT]

@@RBTheMechanic so that's why one side of my belt is ate up

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@JayAR_YT I don’t think that would cause belt wear and tear check ur pullies they would be crooked or bearing issue on pullies or simply belt is old

[@JayAR_YT]

@@RBTheMechanic yeah I did a check last night, this K-Series is burning thru alot of oil. It was actually a lifter tick from being q quart low

[@JayAR_YT]

@@RBTheMechanic Vtc actuators are bad bc of 4500rpm tune

[@jesantospotter2737]

If i find out a mechanic broke a bolt with out trying to heat or add oil and let sit and reheat id make them make when i could 😅 done it myself.. i had work done to my car and that side they touch was all fucked up buddie definitely didnt do good job and torqued everything to tight 😑 that bolts broke and add not one drop of anti sieze in the rust belt use it the next guy with thamkyou

[@tonyzee7162]

The only thing missing from this video is the sound and vision. Saying "it vibrates so im changing xyz"... thats not helpful at all. You are offering a part swapping video, with no detail. :(

[@RBTheMechanic]

Ok sorry next time I’ll do better

[@bhenydhesy868]

Nomor vetbel brp

[@RBTheMechanic]

Huh
